Kamotaketsunumi no Mikoto
Ancestral deity of the Kamo clan, identified with the divine guide Yatagarasu
À propos
Kamotaketsunumi is the ancestral deity of the Kamo clan enshrined at Shimogamo Shrine (Kamo Mioya Jinja) in Kyoto. He is identified with Yatagarasu, the three-legged crow that guided Emperor Jimmu through the mountains during his eastern expedition. After completing this divine mission, he is said to have settled in the Kamo region of Yamashiro Province.
His daughter Tamayorihime is the mother of Wake-ikazuchi, creating a divine family lineage that underpins both Kamigamo and Shimogamo shrines. The two shrines together form one of the most important religious complexes in Kyoto.
Shimogamo Shrine, set within the Tadasu no Mori primeval forest at the confluence of the Kamo and Takano rivers, is one of the oldest Shinto sanctuaries and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The shrine's annual Mitarashi Festival draws upon the purification traditions associated with the sacred waters of the Kamo River.
