Description
Karano-Kami (韓神) 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 figure is named as a child of Otoshi-no-Kami and Inohime; the name has long been associated with the continental (Kara) tradition, and the deity is also venerated at the imperial palace as one of the eight palace deities (hassho-jin). Interpretations of identification vary across commentaries, and IZANORA records this name strictly as it appears in the source.
