AI-written summary
Kotoshironushi is a deity in Japanese mythology, identified in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki as the son of Okuninushi who agreed to cede the land to the heavenly deities during the mythic transfer of authority over Japan. Over time Kotoshironushi became closely associated with, and is often syncretically merged with, Ebisu, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, who is widely venerated by fishermen and merchants as a guardian of fishing, trade, and prosperity. Shrines dedicated to this deity, such as those in the Ebisu tradition, remain sites where communities seek blessings for commerce and abundant harvests from the sea.
