Japanese mythical god
Kamotaketsunumi no Mikoto (三嶋溝抗命) is a
god in
Japanese mythology .
[1]
Overview
He is also known by the name
Yatagarasu .
[2]
Kamotakesunumi is his name; '-no-Mikoto' is an honorific, denoting divinity.
Kamotaketsunumi
He is the founder of the
Kamo clan of
Yamashiro Province , and is known as the deity of the
Shimogamo Shrine (Shimogamo Shrine).
According to
Shinsen Shōjiroku , Kamotaketsunumi no Mikoto is the grandson of
Kamimusubi . Kamo Kenkakumikuninomikoto, under the command of
Takamimusubi and
Amaterasu , descended from the sky to the peak of Tsune in Hyuga and reached Mount Katsuragi in
Yamato , where he incarnated as Yatagarasu and led
Emperor Jimmu and contributed to his victory.
According to the Yamashiro-kuni Fudoki (an anecdote), he came from Katsuragiyama in Yamato to Kamo in Okada in Yamashiro (where the Okada Kamo Shrine is located) and settled at the confluence of the Katsuno River (Koya River) and the Kamo River (Kamo River) (where the Shimogamo Shrine is located).
Kamotaketsunumi no Mikoto had two sons,
Taketamayorihiko-no-mikoto and
Taketamayorihime no-mikoto . Taketamayorihikonomikoto later became the Lord of Kamo Prefecture. Taketamayorihime is said to have conceived and given birth to Kamo Bessarai-no-mikoto (the deity of
Kamigamo Shrine ) while keeping
Honokazuchi-no-kami , who was incarnated as a Tanuria arrow, near her floor (Yamashiro However, in the
Kojiki , the
Nihon Shoki , and the
Sekaiyo Koshihonki , she is said to have become the wife of
Kotoshironushi or
Omononushi , and to have given birth to Kushimikata-no-mikoto,
Himetataraisuzu-hime and
Isuzuyori-hime .
Genealogy
His father is
Futodama
His daughters include
Tamakushi-hime the mother of
Emperor Jimmu 's wife,
Himetataraisuzu-hime . In other words, Kamotaketsunumi no Mikoto was the father of Emperor Jimmu's mother, and if Kamotaketsunumi no Mikoto is considered to be the same god as Yatagarasu, the generation relationship would be very inconsistent.
[3]
Yatagarasu appears in
Kojiki and
Nihon Shoki , and in
Nihon Shoki , it is also said that Kin Kite (golden
Tobi ) helped Emperor Jinmu in his battle with Naganomushihiko in the same scene of Jinmu's eastern expedition, which is another name for the god Amanohiwashi
Ame-no-Kanatomi-no-mikoto [
ja ] , whose name is related to kinshi (golden kite), and therefore is considered to be the same as Ame-no-hikawashi-no-mikoto and Kamo-kenkakumikami-no-mikoto by
Hirata Atsutane and others.
