AI-written summary
Okinagatarashihime no Mikoto, also known as Empress Jingū, is a legendary empress-deity of Japan enshrined at numerous Hachiman shrines across the country. According to tradition recorded in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, she led a military campaign to the Korean peninsula while pregnant, and is said to have delayed the birth of her son, the future Emperor Ōjin, until after her return, an episode that underlies her veneration in connection with childbirth and safe delivery. She is often worshipped alongside Emperor Ōjin and other deities within the Hachiman cult, reflecting her role as both an ancestral figure and a protector associated with maternal strength.
