This rite relates to the myth regarding the transfer of the land (kuniyuzuri) by a Japanese God Kotoshironushino Mikoto recorded in the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) and Nihonshoki (The Chronicles of Japan), as well as another Shinto ritual held in Matsue, Aofushigaki shinji. In antient times, it used to be held on the horse day in November according to the old lunar calendar as the Yaoho festival. Morotabune shinji has caught the attention of people as a devine service showing the attitudes of the heart as Japanese and gathered a lot of participants in it. Dr. Hideki Yukawa, the first Japanese recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, participated in this ritual twice and told the locals that he found the origin of Japanese in the ceremony.
