Hotsuma TsutaeThe Hotsuma Tsutae (also Hotuma Tsutaye, Japanese:秀真伝) is an elaborate epic of Japanese mythical history whose description is substantially different from the mainstream version as recorded in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki or Nihongi. The Hotsuma Tsutae is known for its beautiful text and perfect rhythm. It contends that Amaterasu, the sun diety of Shinto, was male, and not female, as is commonly believed. Although many proponents allege that the origin of the Hotsuma precedes the mainstream mythology, the book was first published (dedicated to a shrine) in 1779. External link
