Description

Yamasue-no-Onushi-no-Kami is a deity name 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 synopsis treats the name as one of many deities tied to a specific scene in the mythic narrative, without elaborating on independent traditions. Because identifications and interpretations can vary across sources, IZANORA records the deity as a node and adds relations outward from the cited textual entry rather than from later harmonized accounts. The alternative name Oyamakui-no-Kami links this deity to the Mount Hiei lineage attested in the same passage.
