The Nymph's Heaven
~Mythology Index~ The Legend of the Hagoromo
Legends of the Nymph/Celestial Maidens "A being who descends from the heavens and a human on Earth meet by way of a hagoromo (celestial robes) and wed." This is the heart of the tennyo legend, which exists in various forms in countries around the world, and not just in Japan. It is not clear where these stories originated. However, it can be speculated that the legend spread along seaways and land passages where ancient peoples traveled. In placed outside Japan, many legends entail maidens who transforms into swans and other birds that descend to Earth to wed human beings. Here we summarize the different forms taken by maidens and hagoromo. Ceres Pallas Juno Layout By: Starlight Designs
