Okunitama is a type of provincial tutelary deity in shinto[1] Ōkuninushi os called by the epithet Okunitama no Kami in Tokyo[2]
Yamato Okunitama is the Kunitama of Yamato Province
It was intended as a means of making Shinto an international religion within the Japanese colonial empire.[3] Some people identified Dangun with Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the government not wanting to take a stand on this enshrined the generic Okunitama at Chōsen Jingu so believers could have their own interpretations.[3] Ogasawara Shozo was a strong advocate of these positions and his advocacy was associated with the enshrinement of Okunitama at both Chōsen Jingu, and Keijo Jinja.[3]
An ethnic korean group proposed to take over Okunitama worship after the war but was denied.[3]
Ogasawara also proposed a system where Japanese people in the colonies were seen as Amatsukami and natives were seen as Kunitsukami.[3]
State authorities at Chōsen Jingu however never allowed for Okunitama to be called "Chosen Okunitama" and indigenous Dangun traditions were suppressed in favor of worshipping Amaterasu in the shrine.[3]
