Description
Kayanohime-no-Kami (鹿屋野比売神) is a divine name listed in the Kojiki (712 CE), specifically in the upper scroll section on land-birth and deity-birth. The Kokugakuin University Database of Deities preserves this reading. She is the field-deity (no-no-kami) born to Izanagi and Izanami; the Nihon Shoki (720 CE) records the corresponding deity as Kusano-Hime, alternately Nozuchi. 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.
