Dordrecht, Netherlands, Kluwer Academic Pub. (in press)] When we look at the adaptation of myth and legend imported from other cultures into Japan, we generally find such filtered through indigenous values and practices which have very old cultural roots. In modern times, as in old, it is difficult to find much of anything imported into Japanese life which is not filtered through such values and practices. [Please see Renshaw and Ihara (in press) for a more detailed discussion of underlying Japanese values and historical purposes]. Perhaps one of the best examples of adaptation of infused star lore is the story of Orihime and Kengyuu (Nojiri, 1973). This legend was probably imported from China in the Heian Era (794-1185), and its associated Tanabata Festival has developed through the centuries. The story involves the stars of Vega and Altair and their apparent proximity to the Milky Way. Krupp (1991) provides an excellent account of the story in its Chinese form. Essentially the same in character, there are some noticeable adaptations made in the Japanese version based on unique social values and seasonal needs. In Japan, the star Vega is often called Orihime Boshi (Weaving Princess Star), and Altair is often called Kengyuu Boshi or Hiko Boshi (Puller of Cows Star). To give the reader one Japanese version of the legend, we will paraphrase Hara (1975):

Extractions: Mythology index Moonlight Archives Greek and Roman Mythology Japanese Mythology The three talismans, the sword, the garnet orb (a jewel) and the mirror, which were necessary to summon the Holy Grail, are part of Japanese mythology. One day Susano-o, the God of Storms, frightened his sister Amaterasu, the Sun Godess. She ran into a cave and closed the entrance. The other gods began a party with birds singing and displayed beautiful jewellery and a mirror outside the cave. Amaterasu heard the laughter and became curious. She opened the entrance and the other gods drew her out. Susano-o was banished to the land of Yomi. There he fought against a giant eight-headed serpent. When he cut off one of its eight tails, he found a magnificent sword. Later he gave the sword to his sister Amaterasu, because he felt he was unworthy of it. The sword was known as Ama-no-Murakumo-no-tsurugi (Sword of Gathering Clouds of Heavens). Later Amaterasu sent her grandson Nigi-no-Mikoto to pacify the Japanese Islands. She gave him the Sacred Mirror, the Sword of Gathering Clouds of Heavens, and Jewels. They became the Japanese Imperial Regalia, but they were lost in the 12th Century.

Extractions: Return to The Two Frogs The Mirror of Matsuyama Visu the Woodsman and the Old Priest Little Peachling ... The Stonecutter Once upon a time in the country of Japan there lived two frogs, one of whom made his home in a ditch near the town of Osaka, on the sea coast, while the other dwelt in a clear little stream which ran through the city of Kyoto. At such a great distance apart, they had never even heard of each other; but, funnily enough, the idea came into both their heads at once that they should like to see a little of the world, and the frog who lived at Kyoto wanted to visit Osaka, and the frog who lived at Osaka wished to go to Kyoto, where the great Mikado had his palace. So one fine morning in the spring they both set out along the road that led from Kyoto to Osaka, one from one end and the other from the other. The journey was more tiring than they expected, for they did not know much about traveling, and halfway between the two towns there arose a mountain which had to be climbed. It took them a long time and a great many hops to reach the top, but there they were at last, and what was the surprise of each to see another frog before him! They looked at each other for a moment without speaking, and then fell into conversation, explaining the cause of their meeting so far from their homes. It was delightful to find that they both felt the same wishto learn a little more of their native countryand as there was no sort of hurry they stretched themselves out in a cool, damp place, and agreed that they would have a good rest before they parted to go their ways.
