Excerpt: In Japanese mythology, the tide jewels-- individually, the kanju , lit. "(tide-)ebbing jewel") and manju , lit. "(tide-)flowing jewel")-- were magical gems that the Sea God used to control the tides. Classical Japanese history texts record an ancient myth that the ocean kami Watatsumi ¿¿ "sea god" or Ryujin ¿¿ "dragon god" presented the kanju and manju to his demigod son-in-law Hoori, and a later legend that Empress Jingu used the tide jewels to conquer Korea. Tide jewels interrelate Japanese dragons and wani sea-monsters, Indonesian mythology, the nyoi-ju ¿¿¿ "cintamani; wish-fulfilling jewel" in Japanese Buddhism, magic jewels of Naga kings in Hindu mythology, and the pearl associations of Chinese dragons in Chinese mythology. The Japanese compounds kanju ¿¿ lit. "ebb jewel" and manju ¿¿ lit. "flow jewel" combine kan ¿ (cf. ¿) "dry up; drain off; ebb (tides); recede; oppose" and man ¿ "fill; full; rise (tides); fulfill; satisfy" with ju, shu, or tama ¿ "gem; jewel; precious stone; pearl; bead". Compare the reversible compounds kanman ¿¿ and mankan ¿¿or michihi ¿¿¿ meaning "ebb and flow; high and low tides; the tides". Shiomitsu-tama ¿¿¿ and shiohiru-tama ¿¿¿ are archaic "tide jewel" names using shio or cho ¿ "tide; flow; salt water". Two Nara period (710-794 CE) historical texts record myths that the Sea God presented the kanju and manju to Hoori, and a Kamakura period (1192-1333 CE) text says the legendary Empress Jingu used the tide jewels to conquer a Korean kingdom in 200 CE. The tide jewels are central to "The Lost Fishhook" legend about the fisherman Hoderi and hunter Hoori, two brothers who argued over replacing a lost fishhook. Hoori went searching to the bottom of the sea, where he met and married Toyotama-hime, the daughter of the dragon Sea God. After living three years in the undersea Ryugu-jo ¿¿¿ "dragon palace castle", Ryujin presented Hoori with his brother's fishhook and the tide jewels, and arranged for him to take his sea-dragon bride back to lan
