Fuha-no-Mojikunusunu

Fuwa no Momojiku Kunasunu no Kami is a God in Japanese mythology.

Overview

In Kojiki, he is regarded as one of the seventeenth gods of the nation, and is described as Fuha no Mochi Unasunu in Awaga Daimyojin Genki, a book written by Awaga Shrine. (Fuha no mochi unasunu?).

Theories

There is a theory that "Mother" is the same as "Muty" in Ōanamutyokami, "Muty" in Ōnigamijin, meaning "nobility", and "Kunaku" meaning "lord of the nation". There is a theory that this deity is the forerunner of the birth of Oanamusubi, just as the birth of Okuninushi is anticipated.[1]

"The word "Nunasu" is the same root as the word "Fufu", which means "bud" (the nature of the mother deity). There is a theory that the name is "the lord of the country's dwelling place of a future nobleman", based on the nature of the father deity Yashima Shiyakumi as the lord of islands and the nature of the mother deity Kibachiryuhihime as a falling cherry blossom.[2]

There is also a theory that "Kunakusu" is taken as "Kunisasu" or "Kunisuna", meaning a sandbar or soil that forms the land. In addition to this theory, there is another theory that takes "Nunasu" as something fluffy, and "Momochiryuhi" as the meaning of "holding" or "supporting", and relates it to the mother goddess, Kibachiryuhihime, as the meaning of the goddess "of the earth and sand of the land that supports the primordial land like fluffy petals", and relates it to the creation of the land.
