Ogetsu-hime- Japanese GodDeity"Goddess of Food"

The Feast from the Body

After Susanoo was banished from Takamagahara, the Kojiki follows him wandering the earth. He came upon Ōgetsu-hime and demanded food. She obliged. The feast she prepared was magnificent, but the method was her own body: she drew food from her nose, her mouth, her rectum. Susanoo ate it.

Then he saw how she made it. He had watched in secret, and what he saw disgusted him. He called it defilement. He killed her.

From her corpse, the crops grew. The Kojiki names them one by one: silkworms from her head, rice from her eyes, millet from her ears, red beans from her nose, wheat from her genitals, soybeans from her rectum. Kamimusubi, one of the primordial creation gods, gathered the seeds from the dead goddess's body and planted them. They became the staple crops of the world.

The Nihon Shoki Variant

The Nihon Shoki tells the same story with different names. The food goddess is Ukemochi. The killer is Tsukuyomi, the moon god, not Susanoo. Ukemochi produced food from her mouth for Tsukuyomi's visit. He found it polluting and struck her down. From her body grew the same grains and silkworms. Amaterasu, furious at Tsukuyomi for the killing, refused to look at him again. That is why the sun and moon never share the sky.
