Torinoiwakusufune

Torinoiwakusufune (鳥之石楠船神 – Swooping Stone Hard Ship of Camphor Wood) also known as Amenotoribume (Bird Boat of Heaven) is said to be the son of Izanami and Izanagi in both the kojiki and nihongi¹².

In the kojiki he is said to have been born after the kami Kayanohime¹, whereas, the nihongi states he was born after Susano-o.²

The nihongi also states this kami, as a boat, had the Leech Child placed in him when Izanami and Izanagi wanted to sent the child away.²
