Amenooshihito no mikoto is said to be the deity who cleaned up the meconium (蟹; kani) when Ugayafukiaezu was born, and its descendants were called the Kamori (蟹守) clan (Kamori can be written using other characters including 掃部, 加守 and 狩森). 天忍人命はウガヤフキアエズ生誕のときにその胎便(「蟹」と呼ばれる)を掃除したという神で、その子孫は蟹守(かもり)氏(掃部、加守、狩森などとも)と称した。 |
