“There are two kinds of spiritual entities: the kami and the yokai. The kami reside in the heavenly realm, separate from our own. The most powerful of the kami are called the Amatsukami. The four of them rule the heavens and the other kami. “This shrine is dedicated to Amaterasu, the Amatsukami of the Wind. The others are Izanagi of the Sky, the ultimate ruler of the kami; his sister Izanami of the Earth; and Tsukiyomi of the Water, brother to Amaterasu.”
