Toshigami (年神 or 歳神, Toshigami or Tomo, lit. "year god"), also known as Ōtoshi-no-kami (大年神, lit. "great year god"), is a Japanese kami and a part of the Shinto pantheon. Etymology [ edit ]
Another version of the myth features Ōgetsu-hime by her more common name, Ukemochi, and in this version, the moon god Tsukuyomi visits her on behalf of his sister-wife, the sun goddess Amaterasu. Ukemochi sought to entertain him and prepared a feast. First, she faced the land and opened her mouth, and boiled rice came out.
Thus it is a kind of toshigami. The practice has shifted over the years. According to 20th century descriptions, the namahage would typically receive mochi (rice cakes) from the households they visited, [3] but newlywed couples were supposed to play host to them in full formal attire and offer them sake and food.
