Ukemochi no Kami is a Shinto deity of food and sustenance, appearing in the Nihon Shoki as the goddess who produced rice, fish, and game from her body, an act that led to her death and the subsequent origin of agriculture and food crops. She is venerated at shrines associated with food, harvest, and provision, reflecting her role in ensuring nourishment for the people. Some traditions link her to broader notions of abundance and fortune, though her core documented significance rests in food and sustenance rather than wealth in a material sense.
