Details
Mizuchi was a Japanese dragon and water deity. The name mizuchi is written with several Japanese kanji, usually the Chinese characters for jiao "4-legged dragon" and qiu or "hornless dragon". Daniels notes that rain-controlling Japanese snake deities are sometimes called dragons, but cautions that for okami and mizuchi, "it is unsafe to deduce their forms from the Chinese characters allotted to them." The Nihongi contains the earliest references to mizuchi river-gods, written once with the kanji and once with the Man'y gana transcription mizuchi "water-father". Two contexts from the semi- legendary era of Emperor Nintoku concern river engineering projects that angered mizuchi. The first records a human-sacrificial victim who saved his life by tricking the mizuchi with unsinkable calabashes. Moreover in order to prevent the overflowing of the Northern river the Mamuta embankment was constructed. At this time there were two parts of the construction which gave way and could not be stopped up. Then the Emperor had a dream in which he was admonished by a God.
