“Konko [金光]” means ‘golden light shines’. The “kon [金]” comes from the “kane [金]” in Kane No Kami [金乃神]. The “ko [光]” comes from “hikari [光]” meaning sunlight [天つ日の光]. Sunlight [天つ日の光] provides the world with light. Therefore it means that the entire world is being blessed by Tenchi Kane No Kami's light shining throughout the world. — (II Konko, Hagio 21)
