The Kotoamatsukami are the five primordial kami who emerged when heaven and earth first separated from chaos — Ame-no-Minakanushi, Takamimusubi, Kamimusubi, Umashi Ashikabi Hikoji, and Ame-no-Tokotachi — each appearing alone and immediately concealing their forms.
Takamagahara, the High Plain of Heaven, is the celestial realm where Amaterasu reigns supreme among the heavenly kami — the primordial Kotoamatsukami, the wisdom god Omoikane, the mighty Ame-no-Tajikarao, the dancer Ame-no-Uzume, and the moon god Tsukuyomi.
The Zōka Sanshin are the first three kami to emerge from the primordial chaos — Ame-no-Minakanushi, Takamimusubi, and Kamimusubi — each appearing alone and embodying the creative force of musubi that set existence into motion.
