Continuing, Kiyo-hiko attempted to hide the Idzushi short sword from Emperor Suinin, but was caught in the act. However, it magically disappeared from Suinin's posession, and found itself on the Island of Ahaji, where it was worshipped and enshrined.

==Ame no Hiboko as a representative figure==
Michiko Aoki, in her ''[[Records of Wind and Earth]]'' (pages 15-19) chronicles the disagreements between Ôkuninushi and Ame no Hiboko. She raises the interesting point that Ôkuninushi belonged to the Izumo region, which lies along the Japan Sea side of the archipelago. Ame no Hiboko, the foreign immigrant, came to the region and was denied entrance to the land by the aforementioned diety. However, by means of magic (Ame no Hiboko's powers have already been brought up), he proved to Ôkuninushi that he was not going to flee. The ''[[fudoki]]'' are filled with occurences of battles between these two deities.
