Wakumusubi (和久産巣日神) is a kami of agriculture. In many versions, he was born from the urine of Izanami when she died.[1] Another version of the Nihon Shoki states he was a child of Kagutsuchi and Haniyasu-hime.[2]
He is enshrined at Aiki Jinja.[3]
He is the brother of Mizuhanome. He is also the father of Toyouke-Ōmikami.[4]
