Ame no Fuyu Kinu no kami

In the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters), he is said to be the fifth grandson of Susano-no-mikoto, and in the Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan), the fifth grandson is said to be Amano-thatchine, but it is unclear if this is the same deity. In the "Awaga Daimyojin Genki", he is described as Amafuyugikunu, the fourth grandson of Susanoano-omikoto. He is one of the seventeenth generation of the Kunizu deities.

According to the legend of Shigekura Shrine, he came all the way from Izumo to Noto and pacified the area.[1]

Ame no Fuyu Kinu no kami root presents a sacred sword to Amatsujin. The Ono family of the priests of the small shrine are descendants of Amano-shine.

The name is believed to be "winter clothing of the heavenly realm," and "winter clothing" is also thought to be a way of praising the fertility of clothing.[2]

There is also a theory that the name was originally "Yufu Koromo" (the deity of cotton clothing), but was overturned by Nunodu and Nunomimi (gods related to clothing), and that "Amano" was added to the name in order to correspond with the following gods, Sashikuni-Ookami, Sashikuni-Wakahime, and Okuninushi, whose names include the word "kuni" in their names, resulting in the name "Amano Fuyu Koromo.[3]
