Oath between Amaterasu and Susanowo (based on the Kojiki)
Ame no Hohi is found in the main works of literature that record the mythology and the mythologized history of Japan. He is found in the both the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki as Ame no Hohi no Mikoto (Kojiki: 天之菩卑能命, 天菩比命, 天菩比神; Nihon Shoki: 天穂日命). In the Izumo no Kuni Fudoki he is referred to as Ame no Fuhi no Mikoto (天乃夫比命).[6] He is also mentioned in the Engishiki by the name Ame no Hohi no Mikoto (天穂比命).
In some myths he was sent first to earth to rule after his brother Ame-no-oshihomimi refused the offer. However, when he didn't return after three years they sent another god to rule.[7]
