After tensonkorin (the descent to earth of the grandson of the sun goddess), Ninigi met the daughter of Oyamatsumi, Konohana no sakuya-bime, and then Oyamatsumi gave Konohana no sakuya-bime and her older sister Iwanaga-hime to Ninigi.
天孫降臨の後、ニニギはオオヤマツミの娘であるコノハナノサクヤビメと出逢い、オオヤマツミはコノハナノサクヤビメとその姉のイワナガヒメを差し出した。
