PATRIOT HAM I really don’t know why Koreans always play the victim like this when they were on our side at the war. I’ve read many comments from people from Asian countries saying that it was actually not Japanese but Koreans who were brutal to their people too. Japan already apologized and compensated many times to Korea but Korea still hasn’t even admitted their atrocities in Vietnam War. Such a hypocrite people :(

[@hanay6956]

J M Your comments show how South Korea’s education is distorted. I used to think South and North Korea were totally different. But as I keep coming across Korean delusional stories, I’ve come to think South Korea is worse than North Korea in a way. You guys can learn the facts if you try, but you choose to stay being brainwashed and play the victims cause it’s a lot easier than to take responsibility for the fact that you guys were Japan’s side in the ww2 and did brutal things to Asian people.

Carmela Camba Yes. They’re called “sansyu-no-jingi” in Japan. It means “Three Sacred Treasures”.

[@skvDsKY]

What Is Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi? According to legend, the sword "Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi"(草薙剣, the sword of grass-sweeping) came from the tail of the legendary eight-headed and eight-tailed serpent/dragon "Yamata-no-Orochi"(八岐大蛇), and today, it is one of the three sacred treasures of Japan. It is also known as Yaegaki-no-Tsurugi(八重垣剣, the sword of eightfold wall), Tsumukari(-no-Tachi)(都牟刈(の太刀), (the blade of) head-cutting) or Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi(天叢雲剣, the sword of gathering clouds in the sky). ("Head-cutting" here might mean the blade of the sword "Ame-no-Habakiri-no-Tsurugi"(天羽々斬剣) broke against Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi inside the tail of Yamata-no-Orochi.) Legend has it that the sword was amazingly hard and had never even been nicked, much less broken.
