Shiotsuchi no Oji no Kami is a deity from Japanese mythology, known as an old man of the sea or tide who appears in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki as a guide and advisor to other gods, notably assisting Hoori (Yamasachihiko) in his journey to the sea god's palace. Associated with tides and the sea, this figure is traditionally venerated at certain shrines connected to maritime and coastal traditions, which by extension touch on the sustenance drawn from the sea. Claims linking this deity specifically to agriculture and food are not strongly documented in primary mythological sources and should be treated with caution.
