The man of haze in the spring mountains

Japanese: 春山之霞壮夫 - はるやまのかすみおとこ

A god who appears in the Kojiki.
He made a bet with his older brother Akiyamanoshitabiotoko about whether he would be successful in courting the beautiful deity Izushiotome-no-kami of Izushi, Tajima (Hyogo Prefecture). When his mother heard the bet, she made him clothes and a bow out of wisteria vines, which turned into wisteria flowers, and he was successful. When his brother did not pay up for the bet, his mother cursed him.
