Description
Usagi-gami is a deity name preserved in the Kokugakuin University Deity Name Database. The database notes the Inaba-no-Shiro-Usagi (White Hare of Inaba) section of Kojiki (712 CE) as the place of attestation. Interpretations of meaning and identification vary across commentaries, so IZANORA treats source attestation as the anchor for adding relationship lines.
