Katana Papercutting Art #5:
“Princess Seoritsu”
NM: Princess Seoritsu is a Japanese Shinto goddess. She is enshrined in a nearby river and waterfalls as a goddess of water. According to one estimate, Princess Seoritsu is an empress of Amaterasu. It seems the god of water and the sun, they paired up to give life to the world. The sun gives light to the soul of life, and water gives moisture to life.
瀬織津姫命
瀬織津姫命は水神として、川や滝の近くに祀られる。
一説では、天照大神の荒御魂とも、また伴侶である皇后ともなされる。
太陽が生命に魂の光を与え、水が生命に命の潤いを与えるように太陽神と水神の二神が対となっていらしたのであろうか。
