Description
Toyohiwake is listed in the Kokugakuin University Classical Cultural Studies Project deity-name database. The source attestation is the country- and deity-making passage in Kojiki (712 CE) Upper Volume, where the name appears as one of the four-faced names assigned to Tsukushi-no-Shima during the begetting of the islands. Commentators generally place Toyohiwake as the face corresponding to the Toyo (Buzen and Bungo) region of Kyushu. The database preserves the name with its scene reference. IZANORA registers it as a node and draws relations only from the cited source.
