Seafood and mountain delicacies

Japanese: 海幸・山幸 - うみさちやまさち
Seafood and mountain delicacies
One of the myths found in the Kojiki and Nihon shoki. Ninigi-no-mikoto, the grandson of Amaterasu Omikami, who descended to rule Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, had three children. The eldest brother Hoderi-no-mikoto and the youngest brother Hoori-no-mikoto (Hohodemi-no-mikoto) were also called Umisachihiko and Yamasachihiko because they excelled at fishing in the sea and hunting in the mountains. The story of these two brothers consists of the conflict between the brothers, Yamasachi's visit to the Sea Shrine, and his marriage to the sea god's daughter.
