The Prince who turned into a swan ～The last days of the hero, Yamato Takeru
After his wife, Princess Ototachibanahime, entered the water, Yamato Takeru gradually faded into obscurity. [The story so far]
Later, in Shinano (now Nagano Prefecture), after killing a white deer, the god of the mountains, with wild garlics, a white dog led Yamato Takeru out into Mino. Here he joined his escort and entered Owari (now Aichi Prefecture).
When Yamato Takeru went to confront the god of Mt. Ibuki (on the border of Gifu and Shiga prefectures), a large white boar the size of an ox appeared in front of him (some say it was a giant snake). Yamato Takeru fell ill as a result of this god's haunting.
He set out for Yamato in a feeble state, and when he reached Tsue Tsuki-zaka(The slope with a walking stick) on the way, he said, "My legs are bent mie (meaning three times over). I was very tired.” So this place is called Mie. From Onotsu he went to Nobono (now Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture), where he died while thinking of his homeland, Yamato. He was said to have been 30 years old at the time.
On hearing the news, his father, the emperor, unable to eat or sleep, ordered a hundred officials to bury him in the Nobono mausoleum, but Yamato Takeru had turned into a swan and flew away, pointing to Yamato. In the coffin, only his robe was left empty, and there was no corpse.
A tragic prince who failed to become emperor, this returned to increase the popularity of Yamato Takeru, who is still often seen as a hero on many stages and in animations today.
This is the final installment of “Japanese Myths and Gods", part one of the series, "Major Myths in the Chronicles" which we have been presenting for some time. As befits a final episode, we close with the appearance of Yamato Takeru. Thank you very much for reading. In the next part of this series, we will introduce you to ‘The world of devine spirits, the gods in our lives’.
日本神話と神様たち
記紀に登場する主な神々(66)
白鳥になった皇子 〜英雄・倭健命（やまとたける）の最期
妻である弟橘媛（おとたちばなひめ）が入水してからは、次第に生彩を欠いていく。[これまでの話]
その後、科野（しなの：現・長野県）で、山の神の白い鹿を蒜（ひる：野生のネギ・ニラ）で打ち殺した後、白い犬が倭建命（やまとたける）を導き美濃へ出る。ここで護衛と合流して、尾張（現・愛知県）に入る。
伊吹山(岐阜・滋賀県境)の神と対決しに行った倭建命（やまとたける）の前に、牛ほどの大きさの白い大猪が現れる（大蛇の説もある）。この神の祟りにより倭建命（やまとたける）はついに病で倒れた。
彼は弱った体で大和を目指して、途中の杖衝坂（つえつきざか）に着いたとき、「私の足は、三重にがくがくと曲がってしまった。たいへん疲れた。」と言った。そこで、この地を三重という。そして尾津（おのつ）から能褒野（のぼの：現・三重県亀山市）へ到り、故郷・大和に想いを馳せながら、自らは能褒野（のぼの）の地で亡くなった。時に30歳であったという。
知らせを聞いた父の天皇は寝食も進まず、百官に命じて彼を能褒野陵（のぼのりょう）に葬るが、倭健命（やまとたける）は白鳥となり、大和を指して飛び去ったという。棺には衣だけが空しく残され、屍はなかったという。
天皇になれなかった悲劇の皇子、そのことが帰って倭建命（やまとたける）の人気を高め、今日でも多くの舞台やアニメの世界でヒーローとしてしばしば登場している。
しばらくお届けしてきた、「日本神話と神様たち」シリーズ第1部の「記紀に登場する主な神話」は、今回で最終回です。最終話にふさわしい、ヤマトタケルの登場で一旦幕を閉じます。ご愛読、ありがとうございました。次は第2部 ’神霊の世界・暮らしの中の神々’をご紹介する予定ですので、お楽しみに〜

Oh Mary, dear Queen of Heaven, oh You Lady ever White, princess of the Springs, of living waters and laughter. Hear my cry. Hear my distress. Faces, figures, I am lost. Too much, it's too much, all the time, everywhere, I am lost.
Oh Beautiful Lady, She who surpasses them all, you who gather spring in your hands, she who draws the divine water and infuses it with Your Presence, may your wild and benevolent Joy guide my steps in these troubled times.
At work too, we have a nice view...

Here too... Once again, we have a nice view 🥰.
There are days when it really just hits the mark.
