Ugayafukiaezu no Mikoto
Father of Emperor Jimmu, born in the unfinished cormorant-feather birthing hut
À propos
Ugayafukiaezu's unusual name derives from the circumstances of his birth: his mother Toyotamahime built a birthing hut thatched with cormorant feathers, but he was born before the roof was completed (fukiaezu meaning 'not yet thatched together'). This hasty birth occurred when Hoori broke the taboo of watching the delivery and saw Toyotamahime's true sea-creature form.
Raised by his aunt Tamayorihime after his mother returned to the sea, Ugayafukiaezu eventually married Tamayorihime herself. Their union produced four sons, the youngest of whom was Kamuyamato Iwarehiko—Emperor Jimmu.
As a genealogical link between the sea-deity lineage and the first emperor, Ugayafukiaezu bridges the mythological and semi-historical periods. He is enshrined at Udo Jingu in Miyazaki Prefecture, set dramatically in a cave overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
