Hosuseri is a god that appears in Japanese mythology.^[1] Second child of Ninigi-no-Mikoto and Konohanasakuya-hime. He is considered to be the great-uncle of Emperor Jimmu (the first Emperor of Japan).

Overview[]

The name Honosusori appears only in "Kojiki" in Kiki. The description in the "Kojiki" is only that it is the second child of Takeshi Hiroki and Konohanasakuya, and there is no description of the achievements.

The children of Hoori and Konohanasakuya Hime lead to the story of Yukihiko Umi (elder brother) and Yukihiko Yama (younger brother), but in "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki" as the names and brothers of these children, but there are differences in the names of these children and their combination as siblings in the Kojiki and Nihonshoki.

In the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters), the first child of Qioninushi and Princess Kibana-Kaiya was Hoderi, the second was Hosuseri, and the third was Hoori.^[2] The grandnephew of Hosuseri was Emperor Jinmu.

In "Nippon Shoki", as a child of Takeshi Hiroki and Konohanasakuya Hime, "Honosusori (text)" and "Honosusori (one book)" have similar sounds. However, it cannot be simply equated because it is treated as Yukihiko Umi and has a different record from Honosusori in the Kojiki.

In the Tenson kōrin stage, Princess Kibana-kaiya was suspected by Qiongine to be the son of Kunitsugami because she carried him in one night, and in order to clear his suspicions, Princess Kibana-kaiya gave birth to three gods in the fire. His second child was named "Hosseiri" because he was born when the fire was burning brightly.

God Name[]

"Ho" means "fire," and "suseri" means "to proceed," so "hoseri" means "to proceed with combustion.
