While the Goddess Ogetsuhime was described in Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) as the origin of grain or silkworm breeding, a similar anecdote in which Tsukuyomi killed Ukemochi with a sword appears in Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan). |
オオゲツヒメは古事記において五穀や養蚕の起源として書かれているが、日本書紀では同様の話がツクヨミがウケモチを斬り殺す話として出てくる。 |
