Ajisukitakahikone
God of thunder, lightning, and agriculture; son of Okuninushi; enshrined at Kamo shrines in Yamato
เกี่ยวกับ
Ajisukitakahikone is a son of Okuninushi and the sea goddess Tagorihime. He appears in the Kojiki in a poignant episode: the heavenly deity Ame-no-Wakahiko died on earth, and when Ajisukitakahikone came to mourn, the dead man's family—overcome with grief—mistook the brilliantly shining deity for the deceased, clinging to him and refusing to let go. Enraged at being confused for a dead person, Ajisukitakahikone drew his sword and cut down the mourning hall, scattering it to the winds.
He is worshipped as a thunder deity (lightning was imagined to 'stick' to trees like his name implies—'aji' relating to 'good/sacred stick') and as an agricultural deity. The Kamo shrines of the Yamato region (including Takamiya Jinja) are associated with his worship. His cult later merged with that of the Kamo clan of Yamashiro (Kyoto), whose kami are among Japan's most anciently attested.
