Accepting the proposal by Ninigi-no-mikoto, Konohanasakuya-hime asked him to make it to her father, instead to herself. This has been a customary practice for a proposal of marriage since the ancient times in Japan. Ninigi-no-mikoto sent a messenger to Ooyamatumi-no-kami, who was her father, and besought him to permit their marriage. Ooyamatumi-no-kami was pleased with his proposal and offered his two daughters, Konohanasakuya-hime and her elder sister Iwanaga-hime, to him with offerings.
According to the Kojiki, Ninigi-no-mikoto asked one more question to Konohanasakuya-hime whether she had some sisters or not. Konohanasakuya-hime answered that Ooyamatumi-no-kami had another elderly daughter whose name was Iwanaga-hime. Satisfied with this answer, Ninigi-no-mikoto decided to propose marriage to these sisters and told her his heart. In the ancient times, we can see there were customs of polygamy in the world generally.
At the Ata, there was a so fair lady, whose name was Kashi-tu-hime, Kamuata-tu-hime, or Konohanasakuya-hime. Captivated by her at first glance, Ninigi-no-mikoto asked her to tell names of herself and of her parents. “I am a daughter of Ooyamatumi-no-kami and a descendant of deities”, she replied to his inquiry courteously.
Although we have inclined to identify the Ashihara-no-nakatu-kuni with the Izumo, where locate in the Shimane-prefecture now, the description in the Kojiki showed that the place where Ninigi-no-mikoto built a nation was in the north part of Kyushuu. According to the Kojiki, Ninigi-no-mikoto founded there the solemn shrine supported by a thick pillar which was so tall that it could reach to the Takamanohara in the Heaven.
Especially, the complier of the Kojiki said that Ninigi-no-mikoto depicted the place where he had landed on faced to the Kara-kuni, where was in the south part of the Korean Peninsula and the invisible road seemed to lead to the promontory of Kasasa in the south part of Kyushuu straightly. Ninigi-no-mikoto appreciated it and said, “the morning sun is shining. Hence this land is auspicious!”
In the second place, considering the future expedition of the first Tennow, Jinnmu-Tennow, to the Yamato, it is doubtful that Hutunushi-no-kami and Takemikatuti-no-kami should have substantially succeeded to make Oonamuchi-no-kami transfer his supreme power over the Ashihara-no-nakatu-kuni to the Takamanohara. If they had done it, it would have been unnecessary that Jinnmu-Tennow dared to conquer the Yamato, where has been regarded to be the whole or the part of the Ashihara-no-nakatu-kuni.
The editor of the Chronicle of Japan, however, might have described different place intentionally. Yuuko Kuranishi says that this difference may account for a sacred position of the Ninigi-no-mikoto, because the ancestor of the Tennow must be a heavenly existence should have been distinguished from the earthy. Thus the summit of the Mountain was suitable for Ninigi-no-mikoto, who was the descendant of deities, particularly of Amaterasu-oomikami.
This view is supported by the description in the Chronicle of Japan that Ninigi-no-mikoto looked around for a good nation and asked a man, who introduced himself Koto-katu-kuni-katu-nagasa, whether there was a nation, or not, when he arrived at Kasasa-no-misaki of Nagaya in the Ata. This frank question suggests us that Ninigi-no-mikoto should have hardly known the achievement by his vanguards.
In fact, the land where Ninigi-no-mikoto landed would have been different from that where Hutunushi-no-kami and Takemikatuti-no-kami had managed to persuade Oonamuchi-no-kami to submit to the Takamanohara. If the mythology of Japan is reflected by some historical facts, the difference of place must suggest that time had passed moderately from the transference of the Ashihara-no-nakatu-kuni till the descending of Ninigi-no-mikoto.
Poring on the scene of the descending of Ninigi-no-mikoto, we should notice that there are some simple questions. In the first place, it is strange that Ninigi-no-mikoto landed on the summit of the Mt. Takachiho at So in Himuka because the place where vanguards had been dispatched by Takaminusuhi-no-mikoto from the Takamanohara ought to have been the Ashihara-no-nakatu-kuni, the Izumo maybe.
