Wakasaname-no-Kami

Wakasaname-no-Kami is a deity registered in the Kokugakuin University Classical Cultures Project Shinmei Database. According to the database, the deity is cited from the Kojiki (712 CE), upper scroll, in the genealogy of Otoshi-no-Kami (the Great Year Deity). The figure appears as a child of Hayamato-no-Kami and Ogetsuhime-no-Kami, placed among the sibling group of young grain deities (Wakatoshi-no-Kami, Wakayamakui-no-Kami and others). The name carries the sense of a young female rice-planting deity, contributing to the agricultural lineage. IZANORA records the textual citation as the anchor and adds genealogical relations from the recorded passage.
