Amenooshihomimi no Mikoto
Son of Amaterasu, father of Ninigi; god of rice and agriculture
À propos
Amenooshihomimi was born from the ritual contest between Amaterasu and Susanoo, when Amaterasu chewed Susanoo's sword and breathed out a mist from which deities emerged. He was originally designated to descend to the terrestrial realm and rule it, but he surveyed the earth from the heavenly bridge and deemed it too tumultuous.
His reluctance led to the dispatch of emissaries to pacify the earthly realm first (the Kuniyuzuri sequence), and ultimately it was his son Ninigi who made the actual descent. Thus Amenooshihomimi serves as a transitional figure in the divine genealogy—the link between Amaterasu and the descending heavenly grandson.
His full name, which includes 'masaya agatsu kachihayahi,' means 'truly I have won, swiftly,' referring to Amaterasu's declaration of victory in the contest with Susanoo. He is revered at Eikuni Shrine and other locations as a deity of rice cultivation.
