When talking about the end of the Izumo Kingdom, it is essential to mention the legendary figure known as Tochiné.
Tochiné is said to be the last guardian of the Izumo royal family, and continued to resist the invasion of the Yamato government.
The Kumano Forest—this deep forest, said to be home to sacred nature and spirits—is said to be the place where Tochiné fought his final battle.
The memory of the battle that unfolded deep in the misty forest, at a place where gods and humans intersected, is still passed down to this day.
Eventually, the Izumo Kingdom was defeated, and Tochiné also faded into history.
However, his soul may reside in the Kumano Forest, quietly preserving the memory of his country.
This story embodies proof that Izumo's culture, faith, and people's aspirations existed as one kingdom.
Note: This work is based on historical fact and legend, with a touch of literary fiction.
