ABSTRACT
IN the Shintô Pantheon, we find some Kami who are specially connected with roads and cross-roads, the dwelling and its various parts, and with the fields, particularly the ricefields.
The generic name for Road-kami is Michi (way)-no-kami, or Chiburi-no-kami (Kami along the road).(324) The three most important are: Yachi-mata-hiko and Yachi-mata-hime (literally the Prince and Princess of the place where ‘eight’ roads meet), and Kunado (or Funado)-no-kami.
