🐦⬛ History
Yatagarasu, whose name means “eight-span crow,” is a divine guide in Japanese mythology and shrine traditions. In the Kojiki (712) and Nihon shoki (720), the crow guides the legendary Emperor Jimmu from Kumano toward Yamato. These narratives are mythological accounts, not evidence of a historical journey. An early documentary reference to worship appears in the Shoku Nihongi, which records the establishment of a Yatagarasu shrine in Yamato’s Uda District in 705.
Although familiar today as a three-legged crow, Yatagarasu is not described that way in either early chronicle. The later image developed through association with the Chinese three-legged solar crow. In modern Japan, the tradition also entered sporting symbolism: the Japan Football Association adopted Yatagarasu as its emblem in 1931.
This pin badge depicts Yatagarasu, the crow deity identified in the product facts as a figure in Japanese mythology. The design shows its characteristic three legs.
