frame In Japanese mythology, the are the seven generations of kami that emerged after the formation of heaven and earth(Tenchi-kaibyaku).
According to the Kojiki, these deities appeared after the Kotoamatsukami, which appeared at the time of the creation of the universe. The first two generations were hitorigami while the five that followed came into being as male-female pairs of kami: brothers and sisters that were at the same time married couples. In total the Kamiyonanayo consists of 12 deities in this chronicle.
