AI-written summary
Sarutahiko-no-Ōkami is a kami of Japanese mythology, described in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki as the deity who greeted Amaterasu's grandson Ninigi-no-Mikoto at the heavenly crossroads and guided his descent to earth, establishing his role as a guide of paths and new beginnings. He is traditionally enshrined at sites such as Tsubaki Grand Shrine and is venerated as a guardian of travelers, crossroads, and right direction in life, with some traditions extending this guiding role to matters of personal wellbeing. Devotees have long honored him for clearing obstacles and setting one on a proper course, though such associations rest on tradition and devotional practice rather than doctrinal claims of specific healing power.
