(Japanese mythology) a food goddess; as told in the 日本書紀 (Nihon Shoki), she offered food to 月読 (Tsukuyomi) after he was sent by 天照 (Amaterasu) to see her, by pulling food out of her orifices, which caused him to kill her in disgust, which caused Amaterasu, in anger, to split up with Tsukuyomi, causing the separation of day and night; from her corpse, cattle, horses, grain seeds and silkworms sprouted out, and were collected by 天熊人 (Ama no Kumahito) and were used for agriculture under Amaterasu's order
