Nusakoro Kamuy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nusakoro Kamuy Nusakoro Kamuy is an Ainu ''kamuy'' (''god''). Called the ''community-founding kamuy'', he represents the dead and serves as a messenger to the other ''kamuy''. ==Mythology== Nusakoro Kamuy is the originator of ''nusa'' or ''inau'', sacred carved wands that represent the ''kamuy'' in Ainu ritual. He is responsible for maintaining the row of ''inau'' arranged outside of a traditional Ainu dwelling, and he carries the ''inau'' and other offerings to the gods, along with humans' messages of reverence. He is called upon to assist in rituals, ensuring that the respect behind them is properly conveyed to the ''kamuy''. He is assisted in his tasks by Yushkep Kamuy, the spider goddess.〔Ashkenazy, Michael. ''Handbook of Japanese Mythology''. Santa Barbara, California: ABC-Clio, 2003. 225-226〕 Nusakoro Kamuy is usually said to be the brother of the snake god, Kinashut Kamuy, but sometimes the two are regarded as a single entity. Nusakoro Kamuy is also sometimes presented as a female deity.
