Kojiki deity name attested across multiple sections from the primal deities to the parting of the three precious children.

Description

Izanaki-no-Kami is a deity name preserved in the Kokugakuin University Deity Name Database. The database notes attestation across multiple sections of Kojiki (712 CE), including the Shohatsu-no-Kamigami (Primal Deities), Onogoroshima, Kami-no-Kekkon (the marriage of the deities), kuni-umi / kami-umi (land- and kami-generation), Izanami-no-Mikoto-no-Shi (the death of Izanami), Yomi-no-Kuni (the land of Yomi), Misogi (the purification), and Sankishi-no-Bunchi (the parting of the three precious children). Interpretations of meaning and identification vary across commentaries, so IZANORA treats source attestation as the anchor for adding relationship lines.
