Machine translation, like
DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.

Tamakushi-hime (玉櫛媛, タマクシヒメ) also known as Mishimanomizokui-hime (三嶋溝熾姫, ミシマノミゾクイヒメ) and Seyadatarahime (セヤダタラヒメ), is a feminine deity who appears in
Japanese mythology. She is known as the mother of
Himetataraisuzu-hime, the first empress of Japan,
Kamo no Okimi, a distant ancestor of the
Miwa clan, Kamigamo the deity of
Kamigamo Shrine. She is also known as Princess Mishima-Mizo, Seiyadatarahihime, Katsutamayori-biyorihime and Kimikahihime.
Kojiki narrative
According to the
Kojiki Ōmononushi had taken the form of a red arrow and struck Seyadatara-hime's genitals while she was
defecating in a ditch. She bore a daughter after she was impregnated by
Ōmononushi, and that daughter was named Hototatara-Isusukihime (富登多多良伊須須岐比売) . Her name was later changed to
Himetataraisuzu-hime and some other names to avoid the
taboo word hoto (ホト, "genitals")).[1][2][3]
Nihon Shoki narrative
Like the Kojiki, the main narrative of the first volume of the Nihon Shoki first describes
Himetataraisuzu-hime as the offspring of the god of Ōmononushi. However, the Nihon Shoki also contains an alternative story which portrays her as the child of the god
Kotoshironushi (事代主神) and the goddess
Mizokuhihime (溝樴姫) - also known as Tamakushihime (玉櫛姫) - conceived after Kotoshironushi transformed himself into a gigantic wani and had sex with her.[4] Likewise, the main narrative in the third and fourth volumes of Nihon Shoki refer to her as the daughter of Kotoshironushi rather than Ōmononushi.[5][6]
