Oyamakui no Kami (大山咋神) is a Japanese god highly significant in Sannō Ichijitsu Shintō,[1] and worshipped in the Hiyoshi Taisha network of shrines[2] and the Matsunoo Taisha network.[3][4] They are also known as Sanno Gongen (山王権現) in a Buddhist context.[5] They are the son of Toshigami[6] and grandson of Susanoo.[7] Oyamakui no Kami is considered to be androgynous and possibly hermaphroditic.[8] They are the kami of mountains and good health.[9]
Due to their prominence in at Hiyoshi Taisha the Chinjusha of Enryaku-ji,[10] the head temple of Tendai[11] and the shrine itself leading Sannō Ichijitsu Shintō, they have a very prominent role in the sect, often in the consolidated divinity of Sanno Gongen.[1]
Sanno Gongen is the archetypal deity of heaven, earth, and human beings, the spirit dwelling in the green of the willow, the red of the blossom. This is a truth transmitted from mind to mind
— Kenmitsu naishogi[1]: 67
The Kojiki says they live on Mount Hiei.[12] He is also worshipped at Hie Shrine.[13]
