À propos
Ōkunitama no Kami (大国魂神) is the great divine spirit of the Land of Yamato. According to the Nihon Shoki, when Emperor Sujin's reign was afflicted by epidemics, an oracle revealed that the cause was the improper enshrinement of Yamato Ōkunitama no Kami. Through the medium Yamato Totohimomoso Hime, the deity's true identity was revealed as Ōmononushi (Ōkunitama being an alternative name), and proper rites were established.
The Ōkunitama Jinja in Fuchu City, Tokyo (formerly Musashi Province), is one of Japan's oldest shrines. The deity is considered the guardian spirit of the entire Musashi region and, by extension, the nation. In some traditions, Ōkunitama is a separate identity from Okuninushi, representing the abstract concept of the 'Great Spirit of the Nation' rather than a personal deity.
