Yashimajinumi (八島士奴美神) was a Japanese god.[2]

His name "Mighty Master Ruling Eightfold Isles" implies he ruled over all of Japan.[2][3]: 227 

He is the son of Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Kushinadahime.[1][4] and father of Fuha-no-Mojikunusunu [ja][3]: 278  and husband of Konohanachiruhime [ja].[1][4]

He is part of the long line from Susanoo-no-Mikoto to Ōkuninushi.[1][4]

He has other names in the Nihongi. These include Suga no yuyamanushi mina samoruhiko yashimajino and Suga no yuina saka karuhiko yashimade no mikoto..[1][4]

Origin and Lineage

He is the son of Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Kushinadahime.[1][4] He appears in the Kojiki, an old Japanese text. He is the first in a line of seventeen generations from Susanoo. The Nihongi has a different version of his lineage. It places Ōkuninushi as his descendant in the fifth generation. The Kojiki says Ōkuninushi is in the sixth generation. Yashimajinumi married Ōyamatsumi's daughter, Konohanachiruhime [ja]. This marriage links him to Ōkuninushi..[1][4]

Significance

Yashimajinumi's role is important in Japanese mythology. He connects various deities in these stories. His family ties show the relationships among the gods in ancient texts..[1][4]

Shrines

He is worshipped at Yasaka Shrine.[5]

Suga Shrine, claims to stand on the site of the palace Shinto deity Susanoo built after defeating the Yamata no Orochi, enshrines Susanoo, Kushinadahime, and their son Yashimajinumi.[6]
