Amenohoakari (天火明) is a god of sun and agriculture in Japanese mythology. His descendants are called Tenson-zoku.[1]
Genealogy change
According to the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, Amenohoakari was born to Ame-no-oshihomimi and Takamimusubi's daughter, Yorozuhatahime. Ninigi-no-Mikoto is his younger brother, but in another book of Nihon Shoki, Ninigi is his father. Otherwise, in book of Nihon Shoki, Nigihayahi is offspring of Amatsukami.
In Kujiki, Amenohoakari is considered the same kami as Nigihayahi, the ancestral god of the Hozumi clan and Mononobe clans, but this contradicts their generational relationships and areas of activity.[2]
In Harima-no-kuni Fudoki, Amenohoakari is the child of Ōkuninushi and Dotsuhime (弩都比売).[3]
Descendants change
In Shinsen Shōjiroku, the descendants of Amatsuhikone, Ame-no-hohi, and Amanomichine, together with the descendants of Amenohoakari are referred to as Tenson-zoku. The Tenson-zoku descended from Takamagahara (Plain of High Heaven) to Owari Province and Tamba Province provinces, and are considered to be the ancestors of the Owari, Tsumori, Amabe, and Tanba clans.[4]
The Amabe clan family tree (海部氏系図, Amabe-shi Keizu) is a famous old book at Kono Shrine. It is from early Heian period. Some people say it is the oldest family tree in Japan. The Amabe clan claims their ancestor is Amenohoakari. The family served as at the kuni no miyatsuko of Tamba Province before it was split in two. The document records 82 generations of descent from Amenohoakari. It was designated a National Treasure in 1972.[5]
A historian named Toshio Hoga argues that Amabe clan genealogy, which records these four clans as descendants of Amenohoakari, is a forged document,[6] and that these clans actually descended from the sea deity Watatsumi. In addition, Owari clan's genealogy includes the great-grandson of Watatsumi, Takakuraji, as their ancestor, and he argues this is the original genealogy.[7] Takakuraji descends from Watatsumi through the lineage Watatsumi, Furutama-no-mikoto, Amanosakitama no mikoto, Takakuraji
The Mononobe clan is a clan whose ancestor was Nigihayahi. The Hozumi clan clan and the Kumano no Kunizukuri Wada clan are said to have the same ancestor. The Yuge clan is closely related to the Mononobe clan.[8]
A genealogical tree handed down to the Kaifu clan, the family of the Kagome Shrine, has been designated a national treasure.[a][b]
Name meaning change
As Amenohoakari's name suggests, he is the deification of sunlight and heat. In Kojiki-den, Hoakari is written "穂赤熟", which means that the ears of rice ripen and become red. Like the other gods connected to the Emperor of Japan, Amenohoakari's name is also related to rice and is worshiped as the sun god and the god of agriculture.[9]
