The word 'Musuhi' means production or formation, which leads to a possible interpretation that Takamimusubi no Kami and Kamimusubi no Kami are the deification of 'creation,' and that this couple, along with the goddess factor held by Kamimusubi no Kami, symbolizes 'musubi' (uniting) of man and woman. |
「むすひ」は生産・生成を意味する言葉で、神皇産霊神とともに「創造」を神格化した神であり、女神的要素を持つ神皇産霊神と対になって男女の「むすび」を象徴する神であるとも考えられる。 |
