Hikoyai
was a member of a Japanese imperial clan from the Kojiki and other sources. He is one of the three princes born to Himetataraisuzu-hime on the banks of the Sakai River, and the eldest of the three. The name does not appear in the "Nihon Shoki" and there are no other names that are believed to be the same person. Hikoyai-no-Mikoto is the first son of Emperor Jimmu and Empress Himetataraisuzu-hime. His brothers are Kamuyaimimi and Emperor Suizei. After the death of Emperor Jimmu, Empress Himetataraisuzu-hime marries her stepson Tagishimimi, who would be considered a step-brother to Hikoyai-no-Mikoto and his brothers. Tagishimimi then attempts to assassinate the brothers, but instead is killed by Suizei who becomes the second emperor. Hikoyai-no-Mikoto does not have any significant role in the story and does not play an active role in the narrative. This is not uncommon in Japanese myths, where there are often brothers who do not play an active role in the story.https://nihonsin ...

Year Of Birth Unknown
A year is a unit of time based on how long it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. In scientific use, the tropical year (approximately 365 solar days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45 seconds) and the sidereal year (about 20 minutes longer) are more exact. The modern calendar year, as reckoned according to the Gregorian calendar, approximates the tropical year by using a system of leap years. The term 'year' is also used to indicate other periods of roughly similar duration, such as the lunar year (a roughly 354-day cycle of twelve of the Moon's phasessee lunar calendar), as well as periods loosely associated with the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
