Legend of Akamata

"Hamakudari" introduced on Wednesday

It seems that the beginning of the Hamakudari can be found in Okinawa's "Akamata legend".

So today, I will briefly introduce "Akamata Legend"!

—————————————————————

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl.

Once upon a time a young man came by every night

My daughter is pregnant.

A mother who is in trouble because she is pregnant with an unknown person's child

In order to find the man, I told my daughter to put a string in the man's hair next.

The next morning, the mother followed the thread to a cave.

Then I heard voices coming from inside.

"I planted my seeds in humans."

“Human beings are profitable.

The sea water will cleanse your stomach, and the seeds will fall off."

When I looked into the hole, I saw two Akamata (snakes) talking.

When the mother heard this, she took her daughter to the beach.

It is said that he was showered with waves and made the baby of the stomach red-Ata come out.

From this legend, in Okinawa

On March XNUMXrd of the lunar calendar, the women went down to the beach,

It is said that “Hamakudari” began when people began to purify themselves.
