Kojiki deity name attested across multiple sections from the primal deities to the Yomi-no-Kuni narrative.
Description
Izanami-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), and Yomi-no-Kuni (the land of Yomi). Interpretations of meaning and identification vary across commentaries, so IZANORA treats source attestation as the anchor for adding relationship lines.
