It was a good thing, Keiko reflected, that she had no desire to return to the dungeons, because she'd never have been able to find her way back.
And when they finally came into what Keiko presumed to be the throne room, they found a nervous Mon'yuu and a decidedly annoyed Tamahome there before them, surrounded by their own complement of guards.
Keiko is doing something akin to rattling off the multiplication table, with the difference that one thousand nine hundred and forty-five characters (in correct stroke order) should keep her mind occupied for rather longer than producing a hundred and forty-four numbers would...

The Minamoto further contend that since that defeat of the Tairas, all emperors have been under the protection of the Minamoto clan, and the authenticity of the sword which is one of the ancient ritual objects known as the 3 Emblems of Imperial dignity cannot be questioned.
On the other hand, it may be that the sword kept at Atsuta-Daijingu in Owari is the replica, for it is known that Emperor Sujin had copies made of the Three Sacred Objects so that their spirits might reside in peace while the originals accompanied the sovereign on his tours.
The Emperor was disappointed by this news, but a magician cast a spell over the naga enabling divers to retrieve the sword, and use it to defeat the barbarians.

Emperor Keikō (景行天皇) was the twelfth imperial ruler of Japan to appear on the traditional list of emperors.
No firm date can be assigned to this emperor and he is regarded by historians as a "legendary emperor".
This does not necessarily imply that no such person ever existed, just that there is insufficient material to assign him to a historical period.

Yamato Takeru not only subdued the mortal enemies of Yamato and many vengeful deities, his death becomes the mythic source of important imperial burial rites (the building of the burial mound, crawling around the grave in grief, etc.) and the inspiration behind the songs performed at all subsequent imperial funerals.

His successor, the Emperor Kobun, was usurped in a civil war that saw the rise of the Emperor Temmu (Hakuho) in 673.
Variations on the basic theme of the keiko would be produced into the Heian Period, and the tanko remained in use, though probably modified to enjoy some of the advantages of the keiko's lamed design.
In that year, the retired emperor Toba forced his eldest son, the Emperor Sutoku (r.1123-1441), to abdicate in favor of a two-year old (borne by a favorite consort) to be known as Konoe.

 Nihon Shoki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is believed to record accurately the latter reigns of Emperor Tenji, Emperor Temmu, and Empress Jitō, and focuses on the merits of the virtuous rulers and the mistakes of the bad ones.
For those monarchs, and also for the Emperors Ojin and Nintoku, the lengths of reign are likely to have been exaggerated in order to make the origins of the imperial family sufficiently ancient to satisfy numerological expectations.
It is widely believed that the epoch of 660 BCE was chosen because it is a "xīn-yǒu" year in the sexagenary cycle, which according to Taoist beliefs was an appropriate year for a revolution to take place.

 Legend - Kusanagi Sword
Generations later in the reign of the 12th emperor, Keiko, the sword was given to the great warrior, Yamato-Dake as part of a pair of gifts given by his aunt, Yamato-Hime, to protect his nephew in peril.
Eventually, the sword came into the possession of the emperor until the Battle of Dannoura, a naval battle that ended in the defeat of the forces of the child Emperor, Antoku at the hands of Minomoto Yoshitsune.
Upon hearing of the defeat, the emperor's grandmother led the Emporer and his entourage to commit suicide in the waters of the strait along with three important artifacts which included Kusanagi.

 Emperors of Japan - SamuraiWiki
The succession of Emperors as described in the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki cannot be taken at face-value.
Emperor Sujin is believed to have been the first "historical" Emperor (being the first Emperor to rule in the growing Yamato region) after the tribal confederacies that had held power previously--this does not mean, however, that he and those that followed did not have highly ficionalized lives.
This assertion could very well apply to many other early Emperors, while others are most likely composite figures--an amalgamation of various important figures in early Japan.

 Japan: Abolish the Monarchy--For a Workers Republic!
In this country, women’s oppression is deeply intertwined with the perpetuation of the emperor system, whose purpose is to sanctify social and sexual hierarchy, the family, private property and the “glory” of the Japanese state.
According to the constitution, the emperor’s role is supposedly limited to such things as acting as adviser and spokesman for the ruling class, performing certain functions of state like putting his “divine” seal of approval on a new prime minister.
The emperor system is the rallying cry of the fascistic and militaristic right wing, who have become more emboldened since official recognition of the hinomaru and kimigayo [flag and anthem], both symbols of the emperor and imperial Japan.

Please note that, from the dates, these techniques were created using the older, Chinese-style, straight sword: The curved blade did not come into wide use until the 10th century.
Also, as the tsuka of this type of sword was quite short, it is unlikely that either the physical technique or the strategy were very close to what we know today.
Conflicting with this practical choice of spear over sword is the fact that the sword, since mythological times, has been one of the Three Sacred Regalia of Japan and a symbol of the divine authority of the Emperor.

Torn between opponents of the symbols and a government requirement that the flag be flown and the anthem played at graduation, Toshihiro Ishikawa killed himself in February, setting off a national debate on the topic.
But some educators praised the legislation, saying it is shameful that some communities have ignored the government requirement that the flag be flown and the anthem be sung at official events.
The anthem is more controversial than the flag because the "kimi," expresses reverence for the emperor, in whose name Japan became a war machine.
