Oyamakui no Kami

Ōyamakui no Kami (大山咋神) is a kami. The Kojiki says they live on Mount Hiei in Ōmi Province or Mount Matsunoo (松尾) in Yamashiro Province. He is the child of Ōtoshi no Kami (大年神) and grandson of Susanoo. He and the other gods in the lineage of Ōtoshi no Kami are thought to be deities associated with agriculture and land. They are thought to be gods based on folk beliefs, or gods that symbolize the time and space governed by Ōkuninushi (大国主). Oyamakui no Kami is considered to be androgynous and possibly hermaphroditic. They are the kami of mountains and good health.
