Susanoo-no-mikoto

Description

Susanoo-no-Mikoto is understood as a deity within the framework of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki narratives. Based on names and cultic roles recorded in these classical texts and shrine records, this entry functions as a point of access within IZANORA's database rather than a historical assertion. The domains of protection from misfortune and victory are not presented as fixed modern efficacies, but as categories derived from how this deity is invoked and understood across related shrines and traditions. IZANORA presents what can be confirmed through three dimensions: the places where this deity is venerated, the legends in which this deity appears, and the relationships to other deities. This approach avoids overextending interpretation of the deity itself, instead offering a structured path through connected shrines, associated folklore, and deity networks.
