The Japanese god of love and marriage. To girls he appears in the shape of a handsome young man, leaping suddenly forward from Kanzakura, the sacred cherry tree in which he lives. He will offer her a bough of cherry blossom, promising love in the future. An old shrine of his can be found in Kagami in the province of Mimasaka.
