Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 37. Its canonical text, structural analysis, and evidence labels govern any discrepancy. This English rendering preserves the transliteration, literal gloss, and interpretive layer separately; it does not expand the Japanese authority’s claims.
Publication boundary: this page does not reproduce private research archives or the full text of rights-unverified modern materials. Historical, linguistic, and comparative statements retain the certainty limits of the Japanese authority.
Review disclosure: linguistically reviewed by TENMON AI under owner authorization; it is not represented as human-reviewed.
Transliteration
Kamunagara — Ame no Kuhisa Mochi — Katakamuna — Kuni no Kuhisa Mochi — Oki Mitsuko Saki Kaze — Shinatsu Hiko — Ki no Kuku no Chi — Iya Misogi Michi — Oho Yamatsumi — Kayanu Hime — Tsuchi Iya Misogi
Literal Gloss
Under the latent order, pillars of heaven and country are maintained around Katakamuna. Three deep water-cores open through a cleaving wind; the fire-child of breath stands and tree-energy becomes a pillar. The way of purification deepens through great mountain, grass-field, and earth, making them places of cleansing.
Interpretive English
Uta 37 returns circulating water to the supports of heaven and land, opens it into wind and tree-life, and extends Misogi through mountain, field, and soil. Misogi is retained as a source concept; no external origin is asserted.
Evidence Boundary
This English edition preserves the Japanese source’s distinction between canonical text, structural observation, TENMON interpretation, comparison, and unverified hypothesis. Sound correspondences are not presented as proof of historical etymology.
