Kisah dan tradisi
Ōmononushi adalah kami dalam mitologi Jepang yang dikaitkan dengan Gunung Miwa di Sakurai, Nara. Kojiki dan Nihon Shoki mengaitkannya erat dengan kami bumi Ōkuninushi. Tempat pemujaan utamanya adalah Kuil Ōmiwa, dan ia juga dipuja di kuil lain seperti Kuil Ōsugi serta dikaitkan dengan dewa Kuil Kotohira. Menurut Heibonsha, dalam legenda Gunung Miwa dewa ini berwujud ular dan tinggal di gua batu; Nipponica menyebutnya dewa ular, petir, dan pertanian, serta dewa leluhur klan Miwa, dan Wikipedia memerincinya sebagai dewa pembangunan negara, pertanian, bisnis, pengobatan, pembuatan minuman keras, dan pelayaran. Ia juga disebut menampakkan diri sebagai panah bercat merah, ular, dan petir; Wikipedia mencatat bahwa ia mengambil wujud panah merah ketika menghamili Seyadatarahime. Pada masa Kaisar Sujin, menurut Heibonsha, wabah akibat kutukannya baru reda ketika keturunannya Ōtataneko ditugaskan memujanya; Wikipedia menyebut Ōmononushi sendiri yang mengaku bertanggung jawab atas wabah itu melalui wahyu. Wikipedia juga mencatat bahwa ia muncul di hadapan Ōkuninushi, berjanji membantu bila dipuja, lalu dimuliakan di Gunung Mimoro (Gunung Miwa). Nama Ōmononushi diterjemahkan sebagai "Penguasa Benda Agung" atau "Penguasa Roh Agung". Heibonsha menyebutnya salah satu kunitsukami paling berakar di Yamato yang, setelah penyerahan negeri, memimpin para kunitsukami melindungi istana.
Ōmononushi is a kami in Japanese mythology associated with Mount Miwa in Sakurai, Nara. The Kojiki and Nihon Shoki link him closely to the earthly kami Ōkuninushi. His chief place of worship is Ōmiwa Shrine, and he is also enshrined at other shrines such as Ōsugi Shrine and identified with the deity of Kotohira Shrine. According to Heibonsha, in the Mount Miwa legend this deity had a snake body and lived in a rock cave; Nipponica calls him a god of snakes, thunder and farming and the ancestral deity of the Miwa clan, and Wikipedia lists him as a god of nation-building, agriculture, business, medicine, brewing and seafaring. He is also said to manifest as a red-painted arrow, a snake and thunder; Wikipedia records that he took the form of a red arrow when he impregnated Seyadatarahime. In the reign of Emperor Sujin, according to Heibonsha, the plague caused by his curse ended when his descendant Ōtataneko was made to worship him; Wikipedia says Ōmononushi himself claimed responsibility for the plague in a revelation. Wikipedia also records that he appeared before Ōkuninushi, promising help if worshipped, and was enshrined on Mount Mimoro (Mount Miwa). The name Ōmononushi is translated as "Great Thing Master" or "Great Spirit Master". Heibonsha calls him one of the most strongly indigenous earthly deities of Yamato who, after the transfer of the land, led the earthly deities to guard the court.
