Prior to the descent of the heavenly grandson, the god of Takaenhara sends an errand that the country of Izumo, which is reigned by the great god of power, should be reigned by the heavenly grandson. In response to this, the great god of power asks for an answer from the god of the child, "I can't decide with my own existence." the lord of the gods, who was fishing in Miho, immediately replied, "This country should be dedicated to Tenson," and when he built Aoshibagaki in the sea, he hid himself in it. Aoshibagaki Shinto is a Shinto ritual derived from this myth, in which Ujiko, who entered the sea for a year and played a sakisai, boarded two ships, each decorated with a large fishing flag and a sakaki, marking the climax of the festival that spans a week.
