The first of three narrative episodes which make up the prologue casts the protagonist’s mythic origin in the primordial past. Key words: the beginning, innovation ,vestige of tradition A brief summary of the familiar story runs as follows. In order to repair a leaky sky, the goddess N252。wa moulds 36, 501 fivecolored rocks.
