Description

Yomotsu-Okami 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 passage on the Land of Yomi (the realm of the dead). The synopsis treats the name as a title applied within the narrative scene, commonly understood as a designation of Izanami-no-Mikoto after she remains in Yomi. Because interpretive views differ across sources, IZANORA records the entry as a textual node anchored to the cited passage and adds relations to Izanami and to the Yomi passage without collapsing variant readings.
