Description
Kamado-no-Kami (竈神, the hearth deity) is a divine name listed in the Kojiki (712 CE), specifically in the upper scroll lineage section of Otoshi-no-Kami. The Kokugakuin University Database of Deities preserves this reading. The hearth deity is associated with Okutsuhiko-no-Kami and Okutsuhime-no-Mikoto in the Otoshi lineage; both are interpreted as the male and female hearth deities of the household. Interpretations of identification vary across commentaries, and IZANORA records this name strictly as it appears in the source, treating the citation as the starting point for any relational links.
