Genealogy

According to Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, Amenohoakari was born to Ame-no-oshihomimi and Takamimusubi's daughter, Yorozuhatahime. Ninigi-no-Mikoto is his younger brother, but in another book of Nihon Shoki, Ninigi is his father. Otherwise, in book of Nihon Shoki, Nigihayahi is offspring of Amatsukami.

In Kujiki, Amenohoakari is considered the same kami as Nigihayahi [ja], the ancestral god of the Hozumi and Mononobe clans, but this contradicts their generational relationships and areas of activity.[2]

In Harima-no-kuni Fudoki, Amenohoakari is the child of Ōkuninushi and Dotsuhime (弩都比売).[3]

Descendants

In Shinsen Shōjiroku, the descendants of Amatsuhikone, Ame-no-hohi, and Amanomichine [ja], together with the descendants of Amenohoakari are referred to as Tenson-zoku. The Tenson-zoku descended from Takamagahara (Plain of High Heaven) to Owari and Tanba provinces, and are considered to be the ancestors of Owari, Tsumori [ja], Amabe, and Tanba [ja] clans.[1]

However, it is clear that Amabe clan genealogy (海部氏系図, Amabe-shi Keizu), which records these four clans as descendants of Amenohoakari, is a forged document,[4] and that these clans actually descended from the sea deity Watatsumi. In addition, Owari clan's genealogy includes the great-grandson of Watatsumi, Takakuraji, as their ancestor, and this is considered to be the original genealogy.[5]

The Mononobe clan is a clan whose ancestor was Nigihayahi. The Hozumi clan and the Kumano no Kunizukuri Wada clan are said to have the same ancestor. The Yuge clan is closely related to the Mononobe clan.[6]

A genealogical tree handed down to the Kaifu clan, the family of the Kagome Shrine, has been designated a national treasure.[a][b]

Name meaning

As Amenohoakari's name suggests, he is the deification of sunlight and heat. In Kojiki-den, Hoakari is written "穂赤熟", which means that the ears of rice ripen and become red. Like the other gods connected to the emperor, Amenohoakari's name is also related to rice and is worshiped as the sun god and the god of agriculture.[7]
