“Yamato Takerunomikoto” in Japanese mythology
(Hereafter Yamato Takeru)

Ancient Japanese royal family

Although he was young and excellent as a brave man, his personality was violent.

He has been good at martial arts since he was a child, he was smart and intuitive, and he was a beautiful boy, but he had a rough temper and was asked by his father to scold his brother, but he tore his limbs and killed him. It was.

Frightened by the violence, his father is afraid of Yamato Takeru and sends him on an expedition to defeat the hostile forces.

In fact, it is said that Yamato Takeru was supposed (wished) to die in the war.

At that time, He went to Kyushu (located in the south of Japan).

However, Yamato Takeru wins and returns.

Then my father immediately orders the 12 eastern countries to be subdued.

“Hitachinokuni (now Ibaraki Prefecture)” is one of the 12 countries.

No wonder he came to Ishioka City, Ibaraki Prefecture and sat down on this stone to rest.

he died at the age of 30 as a prince without becoming the emperor.
