Ahiratsu-hime

Ahiratsu-hime was the first wife of Emperor Jimmu, first Emperor of Japan. Jimmu later married Himetataraisuzu-hime who became the first Empress of Japan, and whose children inherited the throne. Her son Tagishimimi would attempt to seize power violently due to not inheriting the throne.

In the Kojiki, she is called Ahira-hime (吾平媛). According to the Nihon Shoki, she is from Hyūga Province.

Note that the -hime (媛) on the end is the word for "princess", and that tsu (津) appears in Old Japanese as the genitive particle, which was sometimes omitted from names.

Genealogy

edit

There is no mention of her parents in either the Nihon Shoki or the Kojiki.

According to the Kojiki, she is the sister of Ata no Wobashi no kimi (阿多之小椅君,"Lord Wobashi of Ata"). The Kojiki also lists one Hayato no Ata no kimi (隼人阿多君, "Lord Ata of the Hayato") as a descendant of Hoderi. Meanwhile, according to the Genealogical Catalogue of the Ancient powerful families(古代豪族系図集覧) by Tositaka Kondo(近藤敏喬), her older brother is Amasori(天曽利), ancestor of Ata no Wobashi no kimi.

This Ata no Wobashi no kimi seems to be the same person as Ata no kimi Wobashi who appears in the Nihon Shoki as a descendant of Hosuseri.[1] As such, some have pointed to a connection between this person and the Hayato people that also appear in the Nihon Shoki as descendants of Hosuseri.[2]

The fire ceremony at Fuji-Yyoshida recalls this story as a means of protecting the town from fire and promoting easy childbirth among women."
