''The Grass-Cutting Sword'' is a novella by Catherynne M. Valente. It was published by Prime Books in 2006. == Plot summary == The tale is a postmodern interpretation of the Japanese folk-tale of ''Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi'' ("Heaven's Cloud-Gathering Sword"), which is taken from the collection of folk-lore in the ''Kojiki''. The action shifts between the journey of the storm-god Susanoo who has been banished to earth in human form by his sister, the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, as he attempts to slay the eight-headed serpent Yamata-no-Orochi. Valente also portrays the serpent's side of the story with a twist; the tale told by Orochi is intercut or added to by the seven maidens who have been sacrificed to the monster.〔Catherynne M.
