Theories[]

The story of the divine marriage between the sun and the moon in the Kojiki is similar to that in the Tosa Kokufudoki, and is classified as the Miwasan divine marriage story (see below, p.136). The motif of the story is that the moon (elder brother) falls in love with the sun (younger sister) and tries to find out the identity of the lover who comes to visit at night. The motif of the story is that the sun dipped the lover's face in soot, and in the morning the brother's face was covered with soot.
