The Birth of Japan (日本誕生 - Nippon Tanjô), also called The Three Treasures, is a 1959 tokusatsu fantasy epic film. Telling the story of the creation of Japan according to Japanese mythology, it is considered Japan's answer to The Ten Commandments. The film is directed by Hiroshi Inagaki, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya. Akira Ifukube provided the beautiful music score. Heading the huge all-star cast is Toshiro Mifune as the god Susanoo and Koji Tsuruta as younger brother of Kumaso Takeru. One of the film's highlights is Mifune's Susanoo fighting the ominous eight-headed dragon, the Orochi.
