Tagitsu-hime is one of the Three Munakata goddesses. The three sisters are daughters of Susanoo in Japanese mythology.[1]
People say Tagitsu-hime appeared during the Ukei ritual. In this ritual Susanoo broke Amaterasu’s sword into pieces and chewed them. The pieces became three goddesses: Tagitsu-hime, Ichikishima-hime, and Tagori-hime.[1] [1] Later, Amaterasu told the three goddesses to come down to Earth.
She married Ōkuninushi. This is interesting because it links the Munakata clan with the izumo clan. It also links Munakata Taisha and Izumo Taisha.[2] Kotoshironushi was their son.
The Munakata clan and the Minuma clan built shrines for them in Tsukushi Province, an area that is now part of Fukuoka Prefecture. Because of this, the sisters are called the Three Munakata goddesses (宗像三女神, Munakata Sanjoshin).[1]
Today, Tagitsu-hime is worshipped at Nakatsugū, one of the three main shrines of Munakata Taisha. The three sisters are protectors of people who travel by sea, especially in the Genkai Sea.[1]
