Onamuchi
CHARACTER» Onamuchi-no-Mikoto
One of the names given to Okuninushi. He formed the land and created medicine, with the assistance of Sukuna- Hikona.


Though Okuninushiand Onamuchi are usually considered one and the same, this may not have always been the case. Their association may have resulted from aspects of Okuninushi being retroactively applied to Onamuchi as the former god's popularity rose or spread through ancient Japan.
