Amenosagume is a goddess of shamanic nature whose name appears in the Kiki (the *Kojiki* and *Nihon Shoki*), depicted as an entity whose words declaring good or bad fortune can turn the tide of events. Said to have accompanied Ame-no-Wakahiko, the scene where she judges the pheasant Nakime's cry as ominous reflects an ancient layer of thought where conveying divine will and solemn declarations (*kotoage*) were tied to political rituals. The characters used for her name differ between the *Kojiki* and the *Nihon Shoki*. Through fragments of the *Settsu-no-Kuni Fudoki* and poems in the *Man'yoshu*, the tradition of her anchoring at Takatsu on the Heavenly Rock Boat is known, connecting her to the toponymic legends of Naniwa. Her attribute as either an Amatsukami or Kunitsukami fluctuates across historical documents, and the bestowal of honorific titles upon her is also inconsistent, which is a unique trait. In folklore studies, she is sometimes regarded as the prototype of the Amanojaku, a yōkai bearing a rebellious and contrarian nature, although some stances do not assert a direct syncretism. Examples of her worship today are rare; she is enshrined as Ame-no-Sagume-no-Mikoto at Hirama Shrine in Wakayama, and transmitted as a goddess seeking connections at Shōten Shrine in Sagami. Avoiding creative additions, her character within the scope of historical records can be summarized as "a goddess who moves events through divination and solemn declarations."
