Princess Ichikishima

...Also called Ichihime. There is a legend that in 795 (Enryaku 14), Fujiwara no Fuyutsugu enshrined Munakata Okami in the East and West Ichi of the capital, and there are many such examples, perhaps because the "ichi" in Ichikishimahime, one of the three Munakata goddesses, was chosen as the enshrined deity. Next, there are more prominent examples of enshrining Oichihime, Okuninushi no Mikoto, Kotoshironushi no Mikoto, and others, and there are also examples of enshrining Ebisu and Daikoku.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "Ichikishimahime" is listed below.
