Ame-no-Ohabari (Japanese: 天之尾羽張), Ameno Ohabari, or Ama-no-Ohabari is a legendary Japanese blade.[1] that roughly translates to "Heaven-Point-Blade-Extended".[2][3] It is primarily found in the Izumo mythology. It is a kind of sword known as a Totsuka-no-Tsurugi or a "Sword of Length of Ten Fists" which seems to be distinguished by its length and having a double-sided blade.[1]
Übersicht
Wielded by the male creator-god Izanagi, this blade is used to cut up the infant Fire God Kagutsuchi after his birth burns Izanami to death.[1] It cuts the Fire God into multiple pieces, creating eight volcano-gods. When blood drips from the blade afterwards, the Sea God Watatsumi and the Rain God Kuraokami are formed.
