Konohanachiruhime

Konohanachiruhime (木花知流比売) is a divine name listed in the Kojiki (712 CE), specifically in the upper scroll Suga Palace section. The Kokugakuin University Database of Deities preserves the reading. She is the daughter of Oyamatsumi-no-Kami and the consort of Yashimajinumi-no-Kami (son of Susanoo and Kushinada-hime), making her a goddess in the Izumo descent lineage. The name "Konohana-Chiru" contrasts with her sister Konohana-no-Sakuya-bime (the "flower-blooming" princess), denoting "the falling of tree blossoms". Interpretations of identification vary across commentaries, and IZANORA records this name strictly as it appears in the source.
