Hotsuma Tsutae
It differs substantially from the mainstream version as recorded in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, and its antiquity is undetermined.
Although many proponents allege that the Hotsuma predates the mainstream mythology, the first known manuscript was dedicated to a shrine by Waniko Yasutoshi (also known as Yunoshin Ibo) in 1775.
Yasutoshi's manuscript was almost lost, but was discovered and rescued in 1993 following the publication of some popular books on the subject in the mid-20th century by Yoshinosuke Matsumoto.
In the poem, Amaterasu, the sun kami of Shinto, is male, and not female as is written in the official records.
[1][2] Although for the most part Japanese academics remain uninterested in this text, some scholars are of the opinion that it may have been written in the Edo period.
Original source by Yasutoshi Waniko 1775.
