Kizagai-hime lost her bow and arrows by a cave over the sea. She said, "If the son that I am to bear is the offspring of a great god, then let my bow and arrows appear." No sooner had she said this than a golden bow and arrows floated towards her. "What a dark cave," she exclaimed and shot a golden arrow into it, filling it with light, and her child was born. This is an extremely important story of ancient gods.
