 Kusanagi
Kusanagi (草薙 Grasscutter) is a legendary Japanese sword, as important to Japan's history as Excalibur is of Britain's.
The actual Kusanagi is likely to have been a sword in the style of the Bronze Age, typically double-edged and straight (very much different from the more recent Katana sabre style, which features typical curved single-edged blades).
Although the enemy managed to stop a handful of them and recovered two of the three items of the Emperor, Kusanagi was never found.

If either Sujin or Ojin were a leader of conquering horsemen, one would expect more horse trappings in tombs from their era.
For Kidder, then, the critical reign in the rise of the horseriders probably is that of Emperor Keitai, at the beginning of the sixth century.
Earlier immigrants (like Sujin and Ojin) may indeed have come from other parts of Korea, but the horse trappings and the social structure of the late fifth and early sixth centuries, Kidder says, bear much closer resemblance to those in Silla than to those in either Paekche or Koguryo.

All over Japan, there are consecrated rocks and evergreen trees in which kami (powerful beings) reside, as well as sanctuaries (generally called jinja) in which kami are enshrined and which usually consist of a building surrounded by a grove of trees.
However, in the era of the tenth Emperor, Sujin Tenno(first century B.C.), in awe of the divine authority of Amaterasu Omikami, the august mirror (symbol of the kami, or goshintai) was moved from the Imperial palace by the Imperial Princess Toyosukiirihime no Mikoto and was revered in Kasanuinomura.
After searching in other regions, finally in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Emperor Suinin (4 B.C.), she decided upon the present sanctuary of Naiku, by the upper Isuzu river, as the place where Amaterasu Omikami should be enshrined for eternity.

According to most of the sources I've looked at, the original Kusanagi was lost when the boy emperor Antoku-Tenno of the Taira Clan wore it into battle at Dan no Ura (climactic battle of the Gempei War between the Taira and the Minamoto, fought at sea) in 1185 AD.
When it was clear the Taira had lost, Antoku's grandmother, Nidomo, took him into her arms and jumped into the sea.
The sword that resides at Atsuta is apparently a cop that was created by the order of Emperor Sujin to enshrine the spirit of the original sword.

Amaterasu's mirror ("Yata no Kagami"), symbol of the kami, was kept in the Imperial Palace until the reign of the tenth emperor Sujin (first century B.C.E.), when Princess Toyosukiirihime no Mikoto moved it to Kasanuinomura.
Thereafter, Amaterasu Omikami is said to have requested a more suitable site, and under the reign of the eleventh emperor Suinin (4 B.C.E.), Imperial Princess Yamatohime no Mikoto set off a journey around the Kansai, and finally settled for the present site by the upper Isuzu river, where Amaterasu Omikami would be enshrined for eternity.
