Story
Once upon a time in the province of Izumo, there lived an elderly couple and their
eight daughters. Each year, the fearsome snake demon, Yamata-no-Orochi,
would descend from the mountains and devour one of their precious daughters.
After seven years, only one daughter, Kushiinada-hime, remains. The elderly couple fearing for the life of their only remaining daughter were lamenting their misfortune when Susano-o-no-Mikoto, a powerful god, heard their pleas.
Susano-o hatches a plan to be rid of the snake demon using a barrel of poisoned sake. When the demon appears, everything goes according to plan and Susano-o faces the drunken demon, still powerful despite the poison.
After a fierce battle, Susano-o defeats Yamata-no-Orochi by striking a final blow to
the demon's stomach. From the depths of the demon's belly, a sword appears; this sword would go on to become a national treasure. Susano-o marries Kushiinada-hime. The two live happily ever after in Izumo.
