More Myths from the Izumo Fudoki

The Izumo-no-Kuni Fudoki is a gazetteer of the province of Izumo, compiled by imperial order in the early eighth century. This essay is my second collection of myths from that volume, covering the remaining major myths, notes on common features of mentions of the kami, and a discussion of the list of jinja.
