The Shinto and Folk Gods of Japan...

KAMI

Shinto Deities

Also known as Kamui, Kang

Gods of Incomprehensible Things

There are over eight million of them, so if you find something you don’t understand, there’s probably a God for it amongst the Kami.

They are divided into Heavenly Incomprehensibles (Amatsu-Kami) and Earthly ones (Kunitsu-Kami) if that’s any help. We find the whole idea pretty incomprehensible ourselves, but we don’t know if there’s a Kami of Kami.
