Ame-no-Fuyukinu is the son of Omizunu and Futemimi, the husband of Sashikuni Wakahime[4][5] and the father of Ōkuninushi[6](Ōnamuchi)[7].

Lineage and Descendants

The Kojiki extensively documents his genealogy. It says Amenofuyukinu married Sashikuni Wakahime.[4][5][1] They had a child named Ōkuninushi[8] (Ōnamuchi).[9] The Nihon Shoki adds more to the story. It says Susanoo gave him a task. He had to deliver the sword Kusanagi no tsurugi. This sword was to go to the Plain of High Heaven to be delivered to Amaterasu[1]

Connection to Hinomisaki Shrine

Amenofuyukinu is worshipped at Hinomisaki Shrine. Legends say he founded this shrine. The Ono family works as priests there. They claim to be his descendants.[1]

The shrine has a ritual. It is called the "Shinken hōten shinji." This means "sword offering ritual." The ritual is based on the Kusanagi sword myth. It remembers the offering of this sword. This sword is one of the Imperial Regalia of Japan.[1]
