Takehazuchi (天羽槌雄神)[a] is the Japanese god of weaving[1] Also known as Shizuri.[2]
He is believed to be a fifth generation descendant of Takamimusubi most likely through Sukunabikona due to the other associations of him.[3]
He decorated the streamers on the Masakaki tree used to lure out Amaterasu from the cave.[4]
He is a warrior who vanquished the rebellious star god Amatsu-Mikaboshi during the Tenson kōrin.[5][1][2]
Appended to the two passages of the subjugation of the earth in the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki is the mention of a star deity named Amatsu-Mikaboshi who resisted till the end, and whom Takemikazuchi and Futsunushi were particularly eager to vanquish. The latter passage states that the being who subdued the star god, referred to as Iwai no nushi (斎の大人) is enshrined at Katori, hinting that it might be Futsunushi.[6][1] However, the earlier passage says a god named Takehazuchi was the vanquisher of the star god.[5][7]
After Ōkuninushi's assent and withdrawal, the two messengers proceeded to destroy everyone and everything who refused to submit to their authority. They then send the god of weaving, Takehazuchi (建葉槌), to subdue the star god Kagaseo (香香背男), the last remaining rebel against Takamagahara (Nihon Shoki).[1] After the resistance was gone the Tenson kōrin could begin.[2]
It is believed it he may either have also been a war god based on the "take" in his name analogous to Takemikazuchi or that he wove the stars into fabric, taming them.[3]
The Kogo Shūi identifies him with Amenohatsuchio the ancestor of the Shizuri clan who did weaving.[2]
At Shitori Shrine Takehazuchi and Shitateruhime-no-Mikoto are worshipped as weaving gods[2].
Shrines
changeTakehazuchi is believed to be the ancestor of the Shitori clan (倭文氏) of Shitori Shrine[8].[2]
However, the legends of Shitori Shrine are all centered around Shitateruhime-no-Mikoto, whom the shrine legend claims arrived in this location from Izumo by boat. She established her residence on the mountain behind this shrine, and after her death, she was buried in a kofun constructed in the shrine's precincts.[8]
