The Yasakani, or Japanese crown jewels. These divine symbols were given to the first Japanese emperor by Amaterasu. Among these symbols is the magic sword which Susanowa found inside a dragon and the star-mirror Yata-Kagamina which Amaterasu once used herself. These object are kept in the royal shrine at Ise.
