Kikurihime
Kikurihime no Kami, also Kikurihime no Mikoto, is a Japanese Shinto goddess venerated as Shirayama Hime at Shirayama Hime Shrine in Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture. She is equated with the mountain Hakusan in Ishikawa province at Hakusanhime shrine. She is mentioned in the Nihongi, but not in the Kojiki. She mediated between Izanagi and Izanami after the former escaped from the land of the dead, Yomi no Kuni. She is also venerated at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo and at Yōrō Shrine in Gifu Prefecture. Kikuri appears very briefly during the myth of Yomi, after Izanagi used the great god Michikaeshi Ōkami to block the entry to Yomi no kuni. Her words are praised by Izanagi, but what she said to him was not recorded, despite Kikurihime's popularity as demonstrated by her worship at 3,000 shrines across Japan. She was later merged with Kannon Bosatsu following Shinbutsu-shūgō ideas.
