According to ArchdukeHans, he requested Emperor Jimmu the first Emperor of Japan.
He then laid out some specific items/accessories to his request and those were:
Shield, Sword, and Mirror.

However, after one day of me researching those items, I still cannot find
the shield or which is the mirror of Emperor Jimmu. As so I
have laid out the image that I picked that resembles one of the items.


The Yata no Kagami as the Shield-shaped Mirror

Another problem with making this skin is the references photos
that depict the Emperor, I first tried the first photo that come up on the internet
the results are too complex. As so I search for one of the closest depictions of him
in which this is the result that I found.

Emperor Jimmu

Born in 711 BC or 721 BC, Passed away in 585 BC
Reign: 660 BC – 585 BC

---

He was the legendary first emperor of Japan according to the Nihon Shoki and Kojiki. His ascension is traditionally dated as 660 BC. In Japanese mythology, he was a descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu, through her grandson Ninigi, as well as a descendant of the storm god Susanoo. He launched a military expedition from Hyūga near the Seto Inland Sea, captured Yamato, and established this as his center of power. In modern Japan, Emperor Jimmu's legendary accession is marked as National Foundation Day on February 11. Amidst nationalist sentiments during the 1930s and 1940s in Imperial Japan, it was dangerous to question the existence of Emperor Jimmu. Historians have stressed that there is no evidence for the existence of Emperor Jimmu with most scholars agreeing that he is a legendary figure. However, stories of him may reflect actual events. The exact spot of Emperor Jimmu's accession to the imperial throne was debated for centuries until in 1863 scholars of national studies claimed to have identified an area within Kashihara as the exact location.
