Origin

One of the three sacred treasures of Japan, the mirror was passed down from the sun goddess Amaterasu to her descendants Ninigi and later Emperor Jimmu. The mirror itself was used to trick Amaterasu into returning to the world and shining her light for all to grow in. As she had never before seen her own face, she was surprised at the sight of a beautiful woman who was supposedly her, and left the isolation of her hovel.

Meant to represent wisdom, mirrors in ancient Japan were held in high honor for revealing the truth, as they were uncommon to the poor. Although the box containing it was burned in 1040, no clear records were kept of whether it survived. Its location is also a mystery, although many believe it to be housed in the off-limits Ise Grand Shrine.
