Oomiwa-no-kami in Yamato

      As the fortune deity replied that he wished to live Mimoro Mountain in Yamato, Oonamuchi-no-mikoto built a palace and enshrined him there. Then the fortune deity has been called Oomiwa-no-kami. And it is this deity who was the ancestor of the empress, Kougou, of Jinmu-Tennow, Himetataraisuzu-hime-no-mikoto. The purpose of the editors of Japanese history books must have been to explain the origin of the first Kougou of Japan apparently. Further, as “tatara” which is parts of her name means foot bellows, it is plausible that the tribes descending from Oomiwa-no-kami should have been groups who pursued iron producing in particular.
