Kisah dan tradisi
Amanozako (天逆毎, "langit menentang segala hal") adalah dewi garang yang disebut dalam Kujiki. Menurut Kujiki, ia muncul ketika Susanoo membiarkan roh garangnya (ara-mitama) menumpuk di dalam dirinya hingga memuntahkannya keluar. Wakan Sansai Zue memberi gambaran serupa: ia lahir dari kegarangan Susanoo yang terembus keluar. Wakan Sansai Zue menggambarkannya berwatak murka, berkepala binatang dengan hidung panjang, telinga panjang, dan taring kuat yang dapat mengunyah bilah logam hingga rusak. Ia dikatakan melawan kelaziman dan melakukan kebalikan dari yang diharapkan masyarakat, dan mengamuk hebat bila keinginannya tidak terpenuhi. Ia melahirkan sendiri seorang anak, Amanosaku, yang kemudian menjadi raja sembilan langit dan menguasai dewa-dewa liar dan pembangkang. Amanozako dianggap leluhur tengu dan amanojaku, dan 諦忍 menyebutnya "leluhur tengu Jepang", walau pandangan itu tidak tampak di buku lain. Toriyama Sekien menggambarnya dalam Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki.
Amanozako (天逆毎, "heaven opposing everything") is a monstrous goddess mentioned in the Kujiki. The Kujiki is said to relate that she arose after Susanoo allowed his own fierce spirit (ara-mitama) to accumulate within him until he spat her out. The Wakan Sansai Zue gives a similar picture: she was born from Susanoo's ferocity breathed out. The Wakan Sansai Zue describes her as furious-tempered, with a beastly head, long nose, long ears and fangs strong enough to chew metal blades ragged. She is said to go against conformity and do the opposite of what society expects, and to fly into a terrible rage when she does not get what she wants. She bore a child on her own, Amanosaku, who later became king of the nine heavens and ruled the wild and rebellious gods. Amanozako is regarded as the ancestor of the tengu and amanojaku, and 諦忍 called her an "ancestor of the Japanese tengu", though this view appears in no other book. Toriyama Sekien illustrated her in the Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki.
