| In Japanese Mythology, in the chapter on kamiumi (birth of the gods) in "Kojiki" (Records of Ancient Matters), it is described that Chimata-no-kami was born from the fundoshi (loincloth) which Izanagi, who returned from Yomi (world after death), took off for to perform misogi (purification ceremony). |
日本神話の中では、『古事記』の神産みの段において、黄泉から帰還したイザナギが禊をする際、脱ぎ捨てた褌から道俣神（ちまたのかみ）が化生したとしている。 |
