AI-written summary

Futodama no Mikoto is a deity from Japanese mythology recorded in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, closely associated with Ame-no-Koyane as a divine ancestor of the Nakatomi and related priestly clans. He is chiefly remembered for performing rituals and divination alongside other kami to lure Amaterasu out of the cave in which she had hidden, thereby restoring light to the world. Some traditions and shrine associations link him to ritual purification and safe journeys, though such connections reflect later devotional practice rather than the earliest mythological accounts.
