ConsortYashimajinumi[2]: 277–278 
ChildrenFuha-no-Mojikunusunu [ja][1][2]: 277–278 

Her name means "Blossoms-of- the-Trees-Falling-Princess".[4]

According to the Kojiki she is the spouse of Yashimajinumi and daughter of Ōyamatsumi[1][2]: 277–278  and thus and the mother of Fuha-no-Mojikunusunu [ja][2]: 277–278  She is an ancestress of Ōkuninushi.[5][2]: 277–278 

Her sister is Konohanasakuya-hime[6] the volcano goddess worshipped at Sengen shrines[7] and wife of Ninigi[8][9]

While the Kojiki covers this narrative of the ancestry of Okuninushi.[10][11][12]: 29–30  The Nihon Shoki on the other hand omits the entire narrative of the ancestry of Okuninushi from Susanoo and has him as a direct son, skipping the section where Konohanachiru-hime is mentioned,[13][12]: 29–30  however it references the Kojiki alternative narrative.[14]

The Yu-Gi-Oh! card Chirubimé is based on her.[15]

  7. ^ "In A.D. 806 a local official built a shrine near the foot of the volcano to keep it from erupting. The priests assigned the task of pacifying the mountain apparently neglected their duties because Fuji erupted with great violence in 864, causing much damage in a nearby province. The governor of that province blamed the priests for failing to perform the proper rites and constructed another shrine in his own territory, where he could make sure everything was done correctly. A fiery god of the mountain became at a later date the more peaceful Shinto goddess of Mount Fuji-- Konohana Sakuya Hime-- the Goddess of Flowering Trees." "Konohana Sakuya Hime originally had little or no connection with Mount Fuji. Sometime between the 14th and 16th centuries, the belief arose among the people of the region that she would protect them from eruptions of the volcano as she had her newborn son from the flames of the burning bower." Konohana is now the principal goddess of Mount Fuji. Members of Fuji-ko have altars in their own home in which they worship Konohana Sakuya Hime. This group also lights a torch for Konohana Sakuya Hime at the fire ceremony at Fuji-Yoshida.

  9. ^ "According to the 'Kojiki', the great 8th century A.D. compilation of Japanese mythology, Konohana Sakuya-hime married a god who grew suspicious of her when she became pregnant shortly after their wedding. To prove her fidelity to her husband, she entered a benign bower and miraculously gave birth to a son, unscathed by the surrounding flames. The fire ceremony at Fuji-Yyoshida recalls this story as a means of protecting the town from fire and promoting easy childbirth among women."
