Tamanooya-no-Mikoto (玉祖命), also known as Tamanoya, is a kami from Japanese mythology.
[1] Tamanooya is believed to be the creator of Yasakani no Magatama,[2] one of the three imperial regalia of Japan - commonly referred to as the “Jewel” (along with the sword and the mirror).
He was one of the principle gods involved in the plan to lure Amaterasu from the cave that she hid herself in.
[3] The Nihon Shoki states that he was the son of Ninigi, while the Shinsen Shōjiroku says he was the grandson of Takamimusubi.
