Kamuōichi-hime

Kamuōichihime is a Goddess from Japanese mythology.

Overview

A deity who appears only in Kojiki, in the genealogy of Susanoo-no-Mikoto. He is the son of Oyamatsumi, and after Kushinada-hime, became the wife of Susanoo-no-Mikoto, and gave birth to Otonen and Ukanomitama (Inari Ōkami).

Both of these gods are associated with farming, and Kami-Oichihime is also worshipped as a god of farming and food. In the name of the deity, "Kami" is a prefix that is used in reverence for the intense invocation of the divine spirit, "Dai" means "great and splendid", and "Ichiba" means a place where people gather to barter, and the name is thought to be "divine and splendid market"[1]. For this reason, it is worshipped as the guardian deity of the market.

The mountain gods were also capable of providing a marketplace for bartering goods on land and sea, and are thought to represent Godaiichihime as the alter ego of Oyamatsumi.[2].

As a deity in Shinto shrines, she is often worshipped under the divine name of Otoshi-Goshi-no-Kami.
