Mikumari-no-kami is a Japanese kami she is worshipped at Uda Mikumari Shrine and Yoshino Mikumari Shrine [1]. Due to a pun she is associated with pregnancy and childbirth.[2][3] The most famous mikumari shrine is that of Yoshino[4]. Such shrines are frequently found in mountains and linked to Buddhism through Shinbutsu-shūgō.[4] The etymology means water distribution.[4]
In Japanese mythology, it is said that Ame-no-Mikumari-no-Kami (God of Heavenly Water Distribution) and Kuni-no-Mikumari-no-Kami (God of Earthly Water Distribution) were the children of Hayaakitsuhiko and Hayaakitsuhime .
