Three Sacred Treasures of Japan
The "Three Sacred Treasures of Japan" are essential symbols of the Japanese imperial family. They consist of the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, a legendary sword, the Yasakani no Magatama, a curved jewel, and the Ame-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi, also known as the "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven." These treasures represent the virtues of valor, wisdom, and benevolence.
These artifacts are housed in the Ise Grand Shrine and are not publicly displayed. They are believed to have been passed down through generations, signifying the divine right of the emperor to rule. The treasures play a crucial role in the enthronement ceremonies of Japanese emperors.
