...There has been a tradition since the Heian period that in Kannazuki (October in the lunar calendar), gods from all over Japan gather at Izumo Taisha Shrine in Izumo, but there is a god who stays there while the gods are away. In general, Okamasama or Koujin, Ebisu, Daikoku, and Inoko are the gods who stay there while the gods are away, and these gods have in common that they are household gods that are attached to houses. At the major shrines in various regions, such as Rokusho Myojin (Okunitama Shrine), the main shrine of Musashi, and Suwa Myojin (Suwa Taisha) in Shinano, there is a tradition that the god does not go to Izumo because he is actually a snake. ... *Some of the terminology that refers to "Inoko no Kami" is listed below.
