[Part 1] Learning 'The Philosophy of Success' to 'Marry Two Princesses': A New Descent of the Heavenly Grandchild as Told by a Satoyama Project Veteran, Saccharification Expert, and Certified Care Worker
In the Kojiki, the figure who stood before the Heavenly Grandchild, Ninigi-no-Mikoto, was the god who could be called the general manager of the mountains: Oyamatsumi-no-Kami.
Oyamatsumi-no-Kami offered two daughters to Ninigi. One was Konohanasakuya-hime, as beautiful as a cherry blossom and the very symbol of the ideal. The other was Iwanaga-hime, as rugged as a rock and the symbol of eternal reality.
Captivated by her beauty, Ninigi chose only Sakuya-hime and sent Iwanaga-hime away. It is said that as a result, human life, which was of divine lineage, became subject to the limits of a 'lifespan.' I cannot help but superimpose this myth onto my own life.
🌸 Marrying both the 'Flower of the Ideal' and the 'Rock of Reality,' I aim to regenerate the satoyama of Hiroshima, explore the principles of brewing, and paint a future for welfare where no one is isolated and everyone can gather around delicious food.
That 'ideal,' so beautiful and noble, is like Sakuya-hime. However, the path to reaching it is exactly like Iwanaga-hime: gritty, heavy, and at times, merciless 'reality.'
According to the common logic of the world, choosing one or the other might be the correct answer. Since I cannot let go of either, I likely appear as a 'foolish man' who is still caught by the weight of both, struggling in a half-hearted way.
However, I believe.
To connect the resources of the satoyama (Iwanaga-hime) to the eternal system of welfare (Sakuya-hime), a 'third wisdom' is needed to marry these two princesses at the same time.
⛰️ A Question from the Mountain God, Oyamatsumi-no-Kami
The great existence that is the satoyama asks me:
'Will you end your days merely admiring the flower of the ideal? Or will you continue to carry the gritty rock of reality on your back?'
To provide an answer to this profound question and to build a 'system' to cherish both princesses simultaneously—that is the one and only destination I wish to reach through this note.
📕 'The Philosophy of Success' as a Modern Heavenly Revelation
Integrating the scattered fragments of my experience and sublimating them into a 'Definite Major Purpose' to which I will dedicate my life. As a compass for this, I am re-reading Napoleon Hill's 'The Philosophy of Success,' which once saved me.
By sharpening my soul through 61 questions for self-analysis and summoning the 'eight great heroes' sleeping within me. By recording this journey of a 'New Descent of the Heavenly Grandchild,' I hope to one day meet future business partners (the eight million gods) who share my aspirations.
The science of brewing and the emotion of welfare.
Beyond the point where these two intersect, the 'ultimate Hiroshima oden' that no one has ever seen will be completed.
A new myth begins here.
