# Konohanachiru-hime

Konohanachiru-hime is a Japanese goddess$^{:277–278}$.
Her name means "Blossoms-of- the-Trees-Falling-Princess".
According to the Kojiki she is the spouse of Yashimajinumi and daughter of Ōyamatsumi$^{:277–278}$ and thus and the mother of Fuha-no-Mojikunusunu [ja]$^{:277–278}$ She is an ancestress of Ōkuninushi.$^{:277–278}$
Her sister is Konohanasakuya-hime the volcano goddess worshipped at Sengen shrines and wife of Ninigi
While the Kojiki covers this narrative of the ancestry of Okuninushi.$^{:29–30}$ The Nihon Shoki on the other hand omits the entire narrative of the ancestry of Okuninushi from Susanoo and has him as a direct son, skipping the section where Konohanachiru-hime is mentioned,$^{:29–30}$ however it references the Kojiki alternative narrative.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! card Chirubimé is based on her.
