Description

Totori-no-Kami is listed in the Kokugakuin University Classical Cultural Studies Project deity-name database. The source attestation is the Okuninushi genealogical passage in Kojiki (712 CE) Upper Volume, where the name appears within the list of descendants from the Izumo line. The database preserves the name with its scene reference; no further narrative is given in the primary text. Commentators have proposed varied readings, sometimes linking it to bird-catcher subordinates. IZANORA registers the name as a node and draws relations only from the cited source.
