Isukeyorihime - Isukeyorihime

Japanese: 伊須気余理比売 - いすけよりひめ

The Empress of Emperor Jimmu, as recorded in the Kojiki. Her birth story is a divine marriage tale of the Ninurya type. Omononushi-no-Kami of Miwa fell in love with the beautiful Seyadatarahime, and while she was relieving herself, he transformed into a Ninurya arrow and stabbed her in the "hoto" (genitals). Ninurya transformed into a handsome man again and married the girl, giving birth to Hototataraisusukihime, who was said to have been changed to the above name after playing with the "hoto" (sniff). "Isuke" is based on "isusuki" (to tremble), and "yori" indicates the possession of a divine spirit.

《古事記》に伝えられる神武天皇の皇后。その出生譚は〈丹塗矢（にぬりや）〉型の神婚説話である。三輪（みわ）の大物主神（おおものぬしのかみ）が美女，勢夜陀多良比売（せやだたらひめ）に思いをかけ，その用便中に丹塗矢と化して〈ほと(陰部)〉を突いた。丹塗矢はまた美丈夫と変じて娘と婚し，生まれたのが富登多多良伊須須岐比売（ほとたたらいすすきひめ）だが，〈ほと〉の名をにくんで上記の名に改めたという。イスケは〈いすすき(身震いする)〉にもとづき，ヨリは神霊の依（よ）り憑（つ）く意を示す。
