A Study of the advent tradition of Yamato dynasty; The design for the myth of TensonKorin in ‘KIKI’ Kim, Sang-Gyu The advent myth of Tenson(天孫) tells the Emperor's sacred nature and the origin of supreme power. Unlike other founder tradition which comes down from heavens, it is set as the summit of the mountain in southern Kyushu. That is, it has made for the place from which the divine spirit of a rice called the crest of Takachiho(高千穂) of Himuka(日向) begin. This is an intentional myth which begins from being unrelated to the land which exists actually to say nothing of the history suited in the past. In the period of the gods of the KIKI(古事記&日本書紀), the myth with such contents was completed along with the government idea of sovereignty, and it has applied to the history of future generations. It was insisted in the world which the Yamato dynasty governs as a fixed fact before the first Emperor(神武天皇).
