Amenoakarudama

Amenoakarudama is a Shinto kami mentioned in an alternative writing of the Nihongi where he said to be the child of Izanagi and is instructed with making jewels to try and coax Amaterasu out of the Sacred Rock Cave.¹

Under another name of Haakarutama it is said that she visits Susano-o and gives magatama beads which he then plans to gift to his sister.¹
