Ame no Hohi (天菩比神,天穗日命,アメノホヒ, "Heavenly grain sun")[1] is a male deity and the second son of sun goddess Amaterasu in Japanese mythology.[2][3] Izumo clan or the historical rulers of Izumo Province and modern heads of Izumo-taisha and Izumo-taishakyo descend from him.[4][5]
Mythology[change | change source]
In some myths he was sent first to earth to rule after his brother Ame-no-oshihomimi refused the offer. However, when he didn't return after three years they sent another god to rule.[6]
Family[change | change source]
Ame no Hohi's sons are called the Takehi-Nateru.[1] and Ame no Wakahiko [source?] Ame no Hohi is believed to be the ancestor of the Izumo no Omi.[7][page needed] As well as the priests of Izumo and the Sugawara clan.[8] Nomi no Sukune, the founder of sumo wrestling[9] is said to be the descendant of Amenohohi.[10]
He is the ancestor of the Haji clan[11]. Because the Sugawara clan is a subclan of the Haji clan, it means that Sugawara no Michizane is descended from Ame no Hohi

Tagata Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Ame no Hohi.[12] He is also said to be enshrined at Kameido Tenjin Shrine.[13]
