Kayanohime

Kayanohime (草野姫命 – Lady Thatch) also called Nozuchi (Moorland Elder) is said to be the kami of Herbs in the nihongi1 and Moorland in the kojiki.2

She was created by Izanami and Izanagi after the kami Kukunochi. This is related in the nihongi.1

In the kojiki however, she is born after her husband and brother, the kami Ōyamatsumi. Her name represents rugged terrain expanding from the base of mountains.

Together the two of them have eight children, Kuninosatsuchi, Amenosazuchi, Amenosagiri, Kuninosagiri, Amenokurado, Kuninokurado, Ōtomatohime and Ōtomatohiko.2

She is briefly seen in an alternative writing in the nihongi during the events of Amaterasu entering into the Rock Cave. When offerings are being gathered to try and coax her from the cave she is instructed to gather suzuki grass.1

Ōyamatsumi

Ōyamatsumi (大山祇 – Great Mountain Majesty) is the kami of the Mountains and was created by Izanami and Izanagi after the kami Kukunochi.

He marries his sister Kayanohime and together the two of them have eight children, Kuninosatsuchi, Amenosazuchi, Amenosagiri, Kuninosagiri, Amenokurado, Kuninokurado, Ōtomatohime and Ōtomatohiko. This is related in the kojiki. He is also listed as the father of Ashinadzuchi, Kamu Ōichihime and Konohanachiruhime.1

The nihongi states he was born by Izanami and Izanagi after the creation of the kami Watatsumi.2

The Engi Shiki and Fudoki mention a shrine to them in Shikoku, which is apparently where he made land fall during the reign of Nintoku after crossing over the ocean from Paekche.1

Kuninosatsuchi

Kuninosatsuchi (国狭槌尊 – Land’s First Soil) is a Shinto kami who in one version of the Nihongi is said to have been the second kami to come into existence. They also has the alternative name of Kuni-no-sa-tachi.

Another version of the Nihongi says the kami was the third to come into existence after Kunitokotachi, with yet another stating that he came into existence at the same time as Kunitokotachi, followed by the kami Amenominakanushi, Takamimusuhi and Kamimusuhi.1

This kami is mentioned much later in the Kojiki as the second of eight children born to the kami Ōyamatsumi and Kayanohime.2
