=== The Treasures of Amaterasu ===
[[file:三神器.png|thumb|350px|Artist's impression of the The Treasures of Amaterasu, AKA the Japanese Imperial Regalia.]]
Asian media, especially in Japan, has the Treasures of Amaterasu, aka the "Imperial Regalia of Japan": the sword ''Kusanagi no Tsurugi'', also known as ''Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi'', the mirror ''Yata no Kagami'', and the necklace ''Yasakani no Magatama''. All three actually exist, and are stored in three different temples. However, they have never been shown in public and some may be copies of lost or stolen originals. Interestingly, the Kusanagi is rarely actually depicted in the straight, double-edged, longsword-like style and bronze composition it probably should be, [[Every Japanese Sword Is a Katana|but often as]] a [[Katanas Are Just Better|katana]]. The Magatama is often represented by its [http://cabekeriting04.blogspot.com/2008/03/magatama.html signature comma-shaped beads] rather than the whole necklace. The Kusanagi was found in the tail of the [[Orochi]] after its death.
