”Kami” is a Japanese word referring to gods, spirits, and sacred presences in Japanese belief. The unit used to count Kami is “Hashira.”

A comic depicting Izanaki returning from the Land of Yomi and performing misogi (ritual water purification). Covered in dirt and trembling, he says he has been to a filthy, impure land. He removes all the items he was wearing, including a sash, clothes, arm rings, and a staff. At Awakihara, he enters a river and purifies himself through misogi, and performs harai, ritual purification of the objects he had worn.
A diagram explaining that the items Izanaki cast off became deities. His staff becomes Tsukitatsufunatonokami, a deity that protects against evil, and his sash becomes Michinonagachihanokami, a rock deity. The illustration also shows deities of the sea routes born from his bracelets, including offshore deities, shoreline deities, and deities of the waters between the shore and the open sea.
Illustrated guide titled “Kami of the Land Routes.” It shows four items that became kami: a garment (Wazurainoushinokami, Kami of Illness), a fundoshi loincloth (Chimatanokami, Kami of Crossroads), a tied bag (Tokihakarashinokami, Kami of Time), and a crown-like ring (Akiguinoushinokami, a kami that devours impurity). Each object is drawn with a face and labeled with its name and meaning.
