of japan artist s impression of yata no kagami yata no kagami 八 咫 鏡 is a sacred bronze mirror that is part of the imperial regalia of japan 1 2 name and significance edit the yata no kagami represents wisdom or honesty depending on the source 2 its name literally means the eight ata mirror a reference to its size 3 4 mirrors in ancient japan represented truth because they merely reflected what was shown and were objects of mystique and reverence being uncommon items according to shinsuke takenaka at the institute of moralogy yata no kagami is considered the most precious of the three sacred treasures 5 history edit in the year 1040 chōkyū 1 9th month the compartment which contained the sacred mirror was burned in a fire 6 the mirror was not damaged and managed to survive the incident it is considered to be housed today in ise grand shrine in mie prefecture japan 1 although a lack of public access makes this difficult to verify concurrently a replica is enshrined in three palace sanctuaries of the imperial palace in tokyo 2 mythology edit in shinto the mirror was forged by the deity ishikoridome both it and the yasakani no magatama were hung from a tree to lure out amaterasu from a cave they were given to amaterasu s grandson ninigi no mikoto when he went to pacify japan along with the sword kusanagi from there the treasures passed into the hands of the imperial house of japan 7 the researcher shinsuke takenaka said according to the legends amaterasu told ninigi serve this mirror as my soul just as you would serve me with clean mind and body 5 8 replicas in contemporary ritual edit right masakaki at yasaka shrine featuring a mirror and magatama a mirror on an altar at fushimi inari taisha yata no kagami is seen as prototypical for the use of mirrors when
