Ama no Fuchigoma

Ama no Fuchigoma is attested in the corpus of early Japanese myth preserved in the Chronicles of Japan (Nihon Shoki, 日本書紀). The surviving modern summaries state the horse appears within narratives about the kami Susanoo and is recorded there as his mount. The Nihon Shoki is an eighth-century chronicle compiling earlier traditions; the short modern encyclopedic entry cited here is the sole attestation given in the supplied materials, and fuller narrative context would require consulting the primary Nihon Shoki passages not included among the provided notes.

The primary descriptive element preserved in the cited material is the epithet 斑 (fuchi/majime), translated as "spotted" or "mottled," and the noun 駒 (koma) meaning "foal" or "pony." The name as given—天乃斑駒 (Ama no Fuchigoma)—literally encodes "heavenly spotted foal/pony." No additional physical details (size, color beyond 'spotted', tack, or distinctive markings) are recorded in the provided summaries.

The supplied sources do not enumerate any supernatural abilities, feats, or independent actions for Ama no Fuchigoma beyond its narrative role as a named mount of the deity Susanoo. The modern summary therefore records no catalogue of powers; the horse's presence in mythic narrative marks it as a divine or wondrous animal in the company of a kami, but specific powers or behaviors are not attested in the provided materials.
