shi no kami is the
kami of death . Death while omnipresent in old Japan, was not seen as a specific kami until after contact with the Europeans and the introduction of the Japanese to the European concept of the
Grim Reaper during the meiji period.
shinigami is another term that refers to a number of "death deities", such as
emma-o/
yama and
izanami no mikoto.
norito are offered to shi no kami on the fourth day of each month.
