The Statue of Liberty is well-known as a symbol of the United States of America. A replica of the Statue was presented to Japan from France on March 5, 1998. This was erected in the Odaiba-Kaihin Park of Tokyo as a memorial of the exhibition year for France in Japan.

The Statue of Liberty - as a symbol of the French Revolution under the slogan of freedom, impartiality and philanthropy - is said to have been made on the model of the god of war in Greek mythology and have been familiar to French people with the nickname of Marianne. But the author can not help thinking that the statue looks like Jeanne d'Arc who saved France rising in rebellion with the people. The name of Marianne is closely associated with Virgin Mary. But the name Jeanne d'Arc would remind the author the god of war who fought for freedom.

The Statue of Liberty standing in New York looks like Persephone protecting U.S.A. (corresponding to Kikurihime as a Japanese goddess). There lived a woman like a god named Cleito who got married with Poseidon in the past when the American continent was extensive one called Atlantis (according to "Critias" by Plato). She was the same lineage of Persephone and reigned over Atlantis as a queen for a long time.

The Statue of Liberty (= Athene corresponding to Hitsujihime as a Japanese goddess) has come to control this Persephone. Is it possible that Persephone who fell down with the submersion of Atlantis Continent will revive rightfully? U.S.A. standing at the top in the world as a superpower is a reflection of the revival of Cleito, but it is hard to say that Persephone herself abducted by Hades has revived rightly.

On the other hand, the Statue of Liberty came to Japan from France being protected by a father god Zeus in the end of twentieth century. Does it stands as Amaterasu (as a lineage of Hitsujiheme) protecting Japan, namely as Marianne? The author can not help thinking that it is Jeanne d'Arc. Jeanne d'Arc is not a lineage of Athene, but a lineage of Leah, the wife of Cronus.

Leah corresponds to Suserihime as a Japanese goddess. Was the coming of the Statue an advance celebration of the birth of an Imperial Princess Aiko (as a lineage of Suserihime) to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess? Or does it stand in Japan to block the desire of our ancestor Yamato Race as the case of the statue in U.S.A.?
