In the Kojiki and Nihon shoki myths, he is described as the son of Izanagi and Izanami-no-mikoto, and the father of Iwanaga-hime and Konohanasakuya-hime. In the Kojiki, he is called Oyamatsumi-no-kami, and in a fragment of the Iyo no Kuni Fudoki, he is called Oyamatsumi-no-kami. In his Kojiki-den, Motoori Norinaga introduces Kamo no Mabuchi's theory that Yamatsumi means Yamatsumochi, that is, a god who holds and governs the mountains. A lost piece of writing in the "Iyo no Kuni Fudoki" states that he came from Baekje during the reign of Emperor Nintoku, first settled on Mishima in Settsu Province (Mishima in Osaka Prefecture), and later moved to Mishima in Iyo Province (Omishima Town, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture), where he was enshrined at the current Oyamazumi Shrine. The "Shaku Nihongi" also records him as the deity worshipped at Mishima Taisha Shrine in Omiya Town, Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The Oyamazumi deity currently enshrined at shrines around the country is a deity that has been commonly worshiped as a mountain god, regardless of any connection to these myths.

記紀神話で、伊弉諾(いざなぎ)・伊弉冉尊(いざなみのみこと)の子、また磐長姫(いわながひめ)・木花開耶姫(このはなさくやひめ)の父として語られる神。『古事記』で大山津見神、『伊予国風土記(ふどき)』逸文で大山積神と記す。本居宣長(もとおりのりなが)は『古事記伝』のなかで、山津見とは山津持(やまつもち)、すなわち山を持ち、つかさどる神のことであるという賀茂真淵(かもまぶち)の説を紹介している。『伊予国風土記』逸文で、仁徳(にんとく)天皇のとき百済(くだら)国より渡来、初め摂津国御島(みしま)(大阪府三島)に座し、のち伊予国御島(愛媛県今治(いまばり)市大三島(おおみしま)町)に移り、現在の大山祇(おおやまづみ)神社に祀(まつ)られたと記し、『釈日本紀』に現在の静岡県三島市大宮町の三嶋(みしま)大社の祭神としても記している。なお、現在各地の神社に祀られている大山祇神は、それらの神話と関係なく、山の神として一般に信仰されてきた神である。 [鎌田純一] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
