message: (Back at the project as stated previously. I've cited the sources that are previously posted into my contributions below for my own clarity.)
Change the title to Ukemochi's page from Uke Mochi -> Ukemochi for consistent formatting.
Original:
1. Ōgetsu-hime is the wife of Hayamato (羽山戸神, Hayamato-no-kami), who is the son of Toshigami through his wife, Amechikarumizu-hime (天知迦流美豆比売) in the Kojiki.
2. When Ukemochi (Ōgetsu-hime) was visited by Tsukuyomi she prepared a feast by facing the ocean and spitting out a fish, then she faced the forest and bountiful game spewed out of her mouth, finally turning to a rice paddy she coughed up a bowl of rice.
3. Tsukuyomi was so disgusted he killed her. Even her dead body produced food: millet, rice, and beans sprang forth. Her eyebrows even became silkworms.
4. Her eyebrows even became silkworms.
5. Ōgetsu-hime is the wife of Hayamato (羽山戸神, Hayamato-no-kami), who is the son of Toshigami through his wife, Amechikarumizu-hime (天知迦流美豆比売) in the Kojiki.
Proposed Changes Corresponding to Original: [changes in italics]
1. Different interpretations of Ukemochi often refer to them as both male and female. Ōgetsu-hime is the wife of Hayamato (羽山戸神, Hayamato-no-kami), who is the son of Toshigami through his wife, Amechikarumizu-hime (天知迦流美豆比売) in the Kojiki.
2. When Ukemochi (Ōgetsu-hime) was visited by Tsukuyomi she prepared a feast by facing the ocean and spitting out a fish, then she faced the forest and bountiful game spewed out of her mouth, finally turning to a rice paddy she coughed up a bowl of rice. [6 in proposal]. In Kojiki, it is stated that she pulled various foods from within her nose, rectum, and mouth to prepare a feast. [1 in proposal]
3. Tsukuyomi was so disgusted by what he saw that he killed her. Her dead body also produced food: millet, rice seeds, wheat, and beans sprang forth. [1,2,4,7 in proposal] Out of her eyebrows came silkworms. While different sources mention similar items that came from a part of Ukemochi's body, from which part of her body these items came from is less agreed upon. [1 in proposal]
4. Out of her head came silkworms. [1 in proposal] In some narratives of Ukemochi after her death, Tsukuyomi finds that the food that came from her body could not be destroyed. Thus, he takes the grains and animals and gives them new life. [3 in proposal] This new life was put under Inari's jurisdiction. [8 in proposal]
5. When shown in other forms, Ukemochi takes the shape of a fox. [3 in proposal]. Ōgetsu-hime is the wife of Hayamato (羽山戸神, Hayamato-no-kami), who is the son of Toshigami through his wife, Amechikarumizu-hime (天知迦流美豆比売) in the Kojiki.
