Unokami-sama - Unokami-sama

Japanese: ウノカミ様 - うのかみさま
Unokami-sama - Unokami-sama

...For this reason, in recent years many households have entrusted their deities to temples, shrines, or religious figures. In Western Japan, the Miko-no-kami rituals in Okayama Prefecture, Onzaki-sama in the mountainous areas of Kochi Prefecture, and Uno-kami-sama in the plains are known as deities similar to Oshira-sama. In particular, the Onzaki-Uno-kami faith in Kochi Prefecture is a deity of the family and clan that brings wealth but brings curses if rituals are lacking, and has many similarities with Oshira-sama, such as disliking two-legged and four-legged creatures.
