Mythology

Tamanooya is believed to be the creator of Yasakani no Magatama,^[2] one of the three imperial regalia of Japan - commonly referred to as the “Jewel” (along with the sword and the mirror).

He was one of the principle gods involved in the plan to lure Amaterasu from the cave that she hid herself in.^[3] The jewel was hung outside to lure her outside.

Tama-no-iwaya is believed to be the grave for the kami,^[4] and he is venerated at Tamanooya-jinja in Yamaguchi but is not venerated at any kampeisha.^[3]
