In general, most people should be inclined to think that one who bore his or her children claims a right to bring up them. In this story, however, Amaterasu-oomikami declared that the five male deities were her sons, because they had been born from her necklace of beads, Magatama. And she said to her brother, Susanow-no-mikoto, that the three female deities were his daughters. Until now, these three female deities have been enshrined in the Munakata-Taissha in Fukuoka of Kyuushuu.
