As stated above folklorist Yanagita emphasized the meaning of chi as "spirit". Here Minakata draws on Edo Period scholar Motoori Norinaga' suggestion that the -chi signified an honorific. Polymath Minakata Kumagusu, in his essay Jūnishi kō: mi(hebi) ( 『十二支考』, "A Study of Twelve Animals of Chinese Zodiac" ) states "Even in our country (Japan), the various snakes that dwelled by water and were feared by people seemed to have been called mizuchi, or 'master of the water'". ![]() ![]() The tanka poem #3833 composed by Prince Sakaibe can be loosely paraphrased to mean "I could ride a tiger to leap over the Old Shack, to the green pool, to take down the mizuchi dragon there, if only I had a sword capable of doing just that". Ī mizuchi is also mentioned in the Man'yōshū, the ancient collection of Japanese poems. ![]() Suggests this is "perhaps the first documented appearance of the water spirit that would become known popularly in Japan as the kappa". Visser concludes, "From this passage, we learn that in ancient times human sacrifices were made to the dragon-shaped river-gods". Although River God is not called mizuchi in the source, Aston has regarded the River God (Kawa-no-kami) and the mizuchi as equivalent. A whirlwind came and tried, but the calabash just floated away, and thus he extricated himself from death using his wits. One of the men, who resisted being sacrificed, employed the floating calabash and dared the River God to sink it as proof to show it was truly divine will that demanded him as sacrifice. On that year, the Mamuta dikes built along Yodo River kept getting breached and the Emperor guided by an oracular dream ordered two men, Kowa-kubi from Musashi Province and Koromo-no-ko from Kawachi Province be sought ought and sacrificed to the " River God" or Kawa-no-kami ( 河伯). Ī river-god reported seen in Nintoku 11 (putatively 323 AD) is also regarded by commentators to be a mizuchi, due to paralleling circumstances. Therefore that water was called the pool of Agatamori". He slew them every one and the water of the river became changed to blood. Now the tribe of all the water-dragons filled a cave in the bottom of the pool. The record goes on to say: ".He further sought out the water-dragon's fellows. The beast transformed into a deer and tried unsuccessfully to sink them, whereby the man slew the monster. He approached the pool of the river, cast three calabashes which floated to the surface of the water and challenged the beast to make these gourds sink, threatening to slay it should it fail. This mizuchi was exterminated by a man named Agatamori ( 県守), ancestor of the Kasa-no-omi ( 笠臣) clan. Under the 67th year of the reign of Emperor Nintoku (conventionally dated 379 AD), it is mentioned that in central Kibi Province, at a fork on Kawashima River (川嶋河, old name of Takahashi River in Okayama Prefecture), a great water serpent or dragon (大虬) dwelt and would breathe or spew out its venom, poisoning and killing many passersby. The ancient chronicle Nihongi contains references to mizuchi. Kunio Yanagita also emphasized that while the use of character like 虬 may suggest a snake-like being, it should be stressed that the mizuchi signifies a "water spirit". Daniels cautions that for okami ( 龗) and mizuchi, "it is unsafe to deduce their forms from the Chinese characters allotted to them". Mizuchi is also the Japanese transliteration for several Chinese glyphs, each glyph putatively representing a type of Chinese dragon: namely the jiāolóng ( 蛟竜 Japanese: kōryū) or "4-legged dragon", the qíulóng ( 虬竜 or 虯竜 Japanese: kyūryū) or "hornless dragon" and the chīlóng ( 螭竜 Japanese: chiryū) or "yellow dragon".į. ![]() The -chi is glossed as a word root used only as a part of a compound word (as a suffix, etc.)Ĭhinese character representation In olden times pronounced mi-tsu-chi, the word can be broken down to mi "water" + tsu a particle meaning "of" + chi "spirit". It is described in the ancient pseudo-chronicle Nihon Shoki and one Man'yōshū poem. Some commentators perceived it to have been a water deity. The Mizuchi ( 大虬, 蛟龍, 蛟, 美都知) is a type of Japanese dragon or legendary serpent-like creature, either found in an aquatic habitat or otherwise connected to water.
