Learn the stories of 3 Shinto Goddesses (Kami) associated to food, grains, agriculture, and cooking: Toyouke, Ukemochi and Ogetsuhime. These 3 Kami are different, but they are usually portrayed as one. This can lead us to interpret them as a Triple Goddess. There are many Kami related to food and grains, such as Inari for example, but these 3 share many similarities.
