Description
Toyamatsumi-no-Kami is listed in the Kokugakuin University Classical Cultural Studies Project deity-name database. The source attestation is the death of Izanami passage in Kojiki (712 CE) Upper Volume, where it appears among the eight mountain deities born from the parts of the body of the slain Kagutsuchi. The text places Toyamatsumi as one of these mountain-spirits; readings link the name to a doorway- or threshold-mountain deity. The database preserves the name with its scene reference. IZANORA registers it as a node and draws relations only from this cited source.
