As symbolic in the word "space egg", the thought that the world and human beings' origin are coming from the egg is a universal myth generally seen as a dynasty origin tradition. However, to a founder myth of Japan, it cannot see an element called the birth from an egg. Probably in the Kojiki and Nihonshoki, it was hard to consist of the thought and the system of descent of the emperor from the gods of getting down directly from the heavens upper bound 'Takamanohara' indeed. But, the birth traditions by the egg which must be simple and universal are ancient times filled with sovereignty ideology, and were not able to make a leak wipe away completely. The "Chinkaiseki" tradition in Emperor Oujin's birth made into the so-called founder of the Kawachi dynasty had some which have also left the trace born from an egg as well as the birth tradition of Akaruhime in the Amenohiboko tradition which came from the South Korean peninsula. As everyone knows, a Japanese myth is made by the Yamato Imperial Court which tried to build new order in order to establish the legitimacy of Emperor rule. Therefore, it is also the result of emphasizing the expectation and logic by the side of a ruler that the myth born from an egg cannot be seen. Simultaneously, the myth and tradition of a basis will distort. If it puts in another way, the element born from an egg had the figure blot out from the system of a certain time and an imperial family's founder myth, and only the made founder myth remains in the table of the Kojiki and Nihonshoki tradition.
