Origin and Lineage

He is the son of Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Kushinadahime.[1][4] He appears in the Kojiki, an old Japanese text. He is the first in a line of seventeen generations from Susanoo. The Nihongi has a different version of his lineage. It places Ōkuninushi as his descendant in the fifth generation. The Kojiki says Ōkuninushi is in the sixth generation. Yashimajinumi married Ōyamatsumi's daughter, Konohanachiru-hime. This marriage links him to Ōkuninushi.[1][4]
