A tradition has been handed down, however, that Amenosakahoko was transferred from Okuninushi-no-kami to Ninigi who utilized it for the pacification of the land, and then thrust it in the ground of Mt. Takachiho-no-mine with a hope that it would never be used again.
一方で天逆鉾が、大国主神を通してニニギに譲り渡されて国家平定に役立てられ、その後、国家の安定を願い矛が二度と振るわれることのないようにとの願いをこめて高千穂峰に突き立てたという伝承がある。
