In an alternate writing in the second section of the Tenson Korin (descent of the heavenly grandchild) in Nihonshoki, Amaterasu gave a rice ear in the plain of high heaven to Ame no Oshihomimi, and he gave it to Ninigi who was born while Oshihomimi was falling from heaven, and went back to the heaven.
日本書紀における天孫降臨の第二の一書には、アマテラスが、高天原にある稲穂をアメノオシホミミに授け、オシホミミは天降る際に生まれたニニギにそれを授けて天に帰ったとの記述がある。
