「八岐大蛇スカジャン」
Among the many tales of Japanese mythology, the legend of Yamata no Orochi is one that almost everyone has heard at least once.
A fearsome serpent with eight heads and eight tails, its enormous body said to stretch across entire mountains, and its eyes glowing like blazing red flames.
Every year, the serpent appeared and devoured one young maiden. At last, its terrifying grasp reached Kushinada-hime, the youngest and only daughter remaining.
It was then that Susanoo-no-Mikoto, known as a fierce and unruly deity, appeared.
According to legend, he tricked the great serpent into drinking powerful sake. Once it had fallen into a deep sleep, he drew his mighty sword, Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, and struck down the monstrous beast.
This legendary scene, passed down through generations, has been brought to life in a single sukajan by Koromo Aruji.
Eight dragon-like heads twist and intertwine, poised to strike at any moment.
At the heart of the design, Susanoo-no-Mikoto raises his sword, bravely confronting the colossal serpent.
The embroidery captures the dynamic energy of this ancient myth, as though the legendary battle has leapt straight out of Japanese mythology.
Experience the magnificent world of Yamata no Orochi, brought to life through Koromo Aruji unique artistry.
