The Complex Love Life of Ookuninushi in Japanese Mythology

In the "Kojiki," there is a god named "Ookuninushi," whose childhood name was "Oonamuchi." After winning a battle against his brothers, the "Yaso Kami," he fell in love with the goddess "Yagami-hime."💘 However, later on, he also fell in love with the daughter of another god, "Susanoo", named "Suseri-hime",💘 while visiting the country of "Neno-katasu-kuni," where Susanoo resided.

But what happened to "Yagami-hime"?
It seems that after Ookuninushi's victory over his brothers, he became the ruler of the land and established his kingdom. Yagami-hime, as his wife, likely played a significant role in supporting him as a queen. However, when Ookuninushi fell in love with Suseri-hime, he might have felt conflicted about his feelings towards both women.

It's possible that Yagami-hime recognized the depth of Ookuninushi's love for Suseri-hime and graciously stepped aside. Alternatively, it's also possible that she felt betrayed and left the kingdom, seeking solace elsewhere. Unfortunately, "Kojiki" doesn't give us a clear answer about what happened to Yagami-hime after Ookuninushi's affair with Suseri-hime began.

Despite being a powerful god and ruler, Ookuninushi was a known playboy among the gods, constantly attracting the attention of goddesses and causing complicated love triangles and conflicts. His story highlights the importance of communication, and respect in any relationship, divine or mortal.
