Uke MochiUke Mochi is a goddess in Shintoism and Japanese mythology. When Uke Mochi was visited by Tsukiyomi she prepared a feast by facing the ocean and spitting out a fish, then she faced the forest and bountiful game spewed out of her mouth, finally turning to a rice paddy she coughed up a bowl of rice. Tsukiyomi was so disgusted he killed her. Even her dead body produced food: Corn, rice, and beans sprang forth. Her eyebrows even became silkworms.
