AI-written summary

Kumano Fusumi-no-Okami is a name for Izanami-no-Mikoto as venerated at the Kumano shrines, particularly Kumano Nachi Taisha, where she is honored as a primal creator deity of Japan alongside Izanagi. In the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, Izanami and Izanagi are described as the divine couple who gave birth to the islands of Japan and many kami, and this mythic union has led worshippers to associate her with marriage, procreation, and relationships. Her broader mythology also includes her death and passage to Yomi, the underworld, making her a complex figure tied to both creation and mortality.
