Chapter 109, Ukemochi Summary and Analysis
Ukemochi is associated with all forms of food. She gives the people rice, fish and animals. The day comes when the moon god Tsuki Yomi, Amaterasu's brother, is sent to serve within her heavenly palace. He is to help her feed the people of Japan. Ukemochi greets her new assistant with a great feast, which he refuses. He then draws his sword and murders the benevolent Goddess, but even in death Ukemochi's body provides food for the people of Japan. Amaterasu, furious with her brother, banishes Tsuki Yomi from the heavens. His light dims with the dishonor of his actions and he dares not show his face when his sister is awake.
