AI-written summary

Ontake Okami is a designation used at Mount Ontake, a sacred volcano in central Japan long revered as a dwelling place of kami associated with the mountain itself and its natural forces. Devotees, particularly those in the Ontake-kyo tradition, have practiced mountain asceticism and pilgrimage there, treating the peak as a spiritually potent site tied to weather, water, and the broader natural order. Accounts of specific powers attributed to this deity arise from devotional practice and local tradition rather than a single fixed scripture.
