Fudoki Myths from Tosa and Tsukushi

Translations and commentaries for myths found in surviving fragments of the Tosa-no-Kuni Fudoki, and in the Fudoki for Chikuzen and Chikugo, the provinces into which Tsukushi was divided. While a lot of local kami are mentioned, there are a lot of myths about Okinagatarashihimë-no-Mikoto, an important figure in the early myths who is less well known today than she probably deserved.
