Tsukuyomi-no-mikoto

Description

Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is organized as a deity referenced within the context of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki mythologies. Based on names and ritual characteristics documented in these classical texts and shrine records, this entry functions as a starting point on the IZANORA graph rather than as a definitive historical statement. The associations with pathfinding and health represent not modern claims of efficacy, but classifications designed to trace related shrines, temples, and their documented traditions through search and mapping functions. IZANORA presents the deity through verifiable elements: the places where ritual occurs, the legends in which the deity appears, and relationships to related deities. Rather than expanding interpretation of the deity itself, the entry documents what can be confirmed through these connection points.
