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.
