Description
Miketsu-Okami is listed in the Kokugakuin University Classical Cultural Studies Project deity-name database. The source attestation is the Chuai chapter Kehi Daijin passage in Kojiki (712 CE) Middle Volume, where the great deity of Kehi in Tsuruga, Echizen, exchanges names with the child Homutawake (Emperor Ojin) by tradition. The name miketsu reads as a food-providing deity, and the entry is identified with the Kehi Daijin of Kehi Jingu in Tsuruga. The database preserves the name with its scene reference. IZANORA registers it as a node and draws relations only from the cited source.
