TitleIzasawake
テキスト内容Other names: Izasawake no ōkami no mikoto, Kehi no ōkami(Kojiki), Kehi no ō kami (Nihongi).



A kami of Koshi Province (Echizen) with whom then-crown-prince Ōjin exchanged names. Also, the deity of the shrine Kehi Jingū. Legends regarding the deitys origins and those of its associated place names are recounted in Kojiki. In order to perform ablutions following the rebellion of the prince Oshikuma no miko, Takeshiuchi no Sukune took the crown prince from Ōmi through Wakasa, arriving at Tsunuga (present-day Tsuruga) in Echizen Province, where they built a temporary palace.

During the crown princes stay in the area, the deity Tsunuga ni masu Izasawake appeared in a dream, saying that he wished to exchange his name with that of the prince. The offer was happily accepted, and Izasawake-no-mikoto said that he would leave offerings on the beach the next morning in return for the princes name. When the crown princes troupe visited the beach in the morning, they found it covered with porpoises, each of which had a wounded nose. In exchange for this food offering from Izasawake, the crown prince presented the kami with the divine title Miketsu ōkami (great deity of food offerings); the deity also came to be known as the "great kami of Kehi" (since kehi is another name referring to foodstuffs). Emperor Ōjins given name was Homudawake.
