Tamakushi-hime (玉櫛媛, タマクシヒメ) also known as Mishimanomizokui-hime (三嶋溝熾姫, ミシマノミゾクイヒメ) and Seyadatarahime (セヤダタラヒメ), is a feminine deity who appears in Japanese mythology. She is known as the mother of Himetataraisuzu-hime, the first empress of Japan, Kamo no Okimi, a distant ancestor of the Miwa clan, Kamigamo the deity of Kamigamo Shrine. She is also known as Princess Mishima-Mizo, Seiyadatarahihime, Katsutamayori-biyorihime and Kimikahihime.
Kojiki narrative
According to the Kojiki Ōmononushi had taken the form of a red arrow and struck Seyadatara-hime's genitals while she was defecating in a ditch. She bore a daughter after she was impregnated by Ōmononushi, and that daughter was named Hototatara-Isusukihime (富登多多良伊須須岐比売) . Her name was later changed to Himetataraisuzu-hime and some other names to avoid the taboo word hoto (ホト, "genitals")).
Nihon Shoki narrative
Like the Kojiki, the main narrative of the first volume of the Nihon Shoki first describes Himetataraisuzu-hime as the offspring of the god of Ōmononushi. However, the Nihon Shoki also contains an alternative story which portrays her as the child of the god Kotoshironushi (事代主神) and the goddess Mizokuhihime (溝樴姫) - also known as Tamakushihime (玉櫛姫) - conceived after Kotoshironushi transformed himself into a gigantic wani and had sex with her. Likewise, the main narrative in the third and fourth volumes of Nihon Shoki refer to her as the daughter of Kotoshironushi rather than Ōmononushi.
