Mitsudomoe. More Amaterasu proof?

 In my Strange symbols and patterns on the Torii Gates, Soh and Villagers post, I mentioned seeing this symbol:

It's actually a common symbol in Shinto! Called Tomoe. This one in particular is mitsudomoe. 

I kept seeing the red lines...unaware that there's three magatama shapes in this symbol!

It is also commonly displayed on banners and lanterns used in festivals and rituals related to Amaterasu-ōmikami,who in the Kojiki confronts her brother Susanoo when he usurps her terrain on earth by dressing as an archer, adorned with magatama beads and 'an awesome high arm-guard' (itu nö takatömö).

Tomoe also is a personal name, dating at least back to Tomoe Gozen (巴御前), a famous female warrior celebrated in The Tale of the Heike account of the Genpei War. In Kyoto's Jidai Matsuri festival, she appears in the Heian period section of the procession in samurai costume, and parades as a symbol of feminine gallantry.

Remember Soh's title as Gozen? Thought it was cool...(but probably irrelevant here)

Her forehead reminds me of Yoshiro's.

So, the festivals are celebrating Amaterasu...is the Goddess Amaterasu then?

Look at how the symbol is presented:

3 layers. 3 magatama. Yoshiro in the center. 

Yoshiro, Soh, the Goddess?

Going back to 'Amaterasu dressing like an archer', look:

During the festival, bows are out. At Korai Valley, I think.

Are the Amaterasu references just references or is it the identity of the Goddess? Is the Goddess the Amaterasu of the Kunitsu-Gami world?

I took more photos of the lanterns. They are usually by Yoshiro's tent or buildings.

These two symbols are often seen together.

The bottom one is magatama merging with the middle 'sword'. The implication being the Goddess merging with Maidens...

Doesn't it also make you think of the impurity pattern?

Mitsudomoe lanterns are also on the Cherry Tree!

Festive drums?
