Susanoo and the Serpent | A Japanese Myth of Redemption, Courage and Protection | A Simple Tale
Simple Tales presents the thrilling Japanese myth *Susanoo and the Serpent*—an ancient tale from the Shinto tradition about exile, redemption, and turning destructive power toward protecting others.
Driven from the heavens for his reckless anger, the storm god Susanoo wanders the earth in solitude. Near the Hi River, he meets an elderly couple weeping for their last remaining daughter, Kushinada-hime, who is doomed to be devoured by Yamata no Orochi—a terrifying serpent with eight heads and eight tails. Rather than remaining bitter in exile, Susanoo devises a clever strategy to face the beast. By transforming Kushinada-hime into a comb for safekeeping and using eight vats of strong sake to trick the monster, Susanoo confronts the serpent and uncovers the legendary sword hidden within its tail.
