Homusubi-no-mikoto is a Shinto deity associated with fire, appearing in early sources such as the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki as a kami born of Izanami, whose birth is linked to her death. Traditionally venerated at fire-related shrines and rites, this deity is connected to the perilous yet essential power of fire in daily life and craft. Devotees have long approached this kami in hopes of guarding against the dangers of fire, though such benefits reflect tradition and belief rather than verified fact.
