Nunakawahime is a Shinto goddess.[2]

She is worshipped in Shinto, known particularly for her association with 'sound' and 'ringing'. She helps people sing.[2]

She is the mother of Takeminakata.[3] and Kotoshironushi.[4]

Nunakawahime is especially sought after by expectant mothers, as she is believed to grant easy childbirth and blessings of children.[2]

Nunakawahime is a character in the Kojiki, an ancient Japanese text. She is not mentioned in the Nihon Shoki. In the Kojiki, there is a story about Ōkuninushi. He went to Koshi No Kuni to propose to Nunakawahime. He stood outside her house and recited a poem. He wanted to marry her. Nunakawahime was hesitant at first. But the next day, she accepted with a poem. They got married.[2]

Legacy

Nunakawahime is not often mentioned in historical texts. But she is known for her love of poetry and her calm nature. She helps women in important times like childbirth. Many women look up to her for support and advice..[2]

For those involved in professions or hobbies related to poetry or song, it is customary to honor Nunakawahime, as it is believed that doing so brings joy to the goddess.[2]
