AI-written summary
Homusubi-no-kami, also known as Kagutsuchi, is a fire deity in Japanese mythology, recorded in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki as the child of Izanagi and Izanami whose birth caused Izanami's death. Traditionally venerated at shrines such as Atago and Akiba shrines, this kami is associated with the powers and dangers of fire, and is invoked in rites intended to guard against conflagration. Devotees have historically sought this deity's favor for protection from fire-related disasters, though such outcomes remain a matter of faith rather than established fact.
