Master of the Hidden Realm

Ōkuninushi perceives and influences events in the spirit world and underground, maintaining balance between divine and mortal realms.

God | Shinto

God of nation-building, medicine, and magic; the great earthly deity who built Japan before the heavenly gods arrived; associated with the creation of the land itself. He is the master of the earthly realm (Ashihara no Nakatsukuni) who voluntarily ceded power to the heavenly kami at Amaterasu’s request, a supreme act of submission that defines his character.
