Yakusa-no-Ikazuchi-no-Kami

Yakusa-no-Ikazuchi-no-Kami is listed in the Kokugakuin University Classical Cultural Studies Project deity-name database. The source attestation is the Yomi passage in Kojiki (712 CE) Upper Volume, where Izanagi-no-Mikoto looks upon the body of Izanami and finds maggots gathering, with eight thunder deities arisen on her form. The collective name yakusa-no-ikazuchi means "the eight thunders," embracing Great Thunder, Fire Thunder, Black Thunder, Cleaving Thunder, Young Thunder, Earth Thunder, Naru-Ikazuchi and Hiding Thunder. The database preserves the name with its scene reference. IZANORA registers it as a node and draws relations only from the cited source.
