Izumo province - definition of Izumo province in Encyclopedia (955 words)
Izumo (出雲国; -no kuni) was an old province of Japan which today consists of the eastern part of Shimane prefecture in the Chugoku region.
Even today the Izumo Shrine constitutes (as does the Ise Shrine) one of the more important sacred places of Shinto: it is dedicated to kami, especially to Ôkuninushi (Opo-kuni-nusi-nö-mikötö), mythical progenitor of Susano-o and all the clans of Izumo.
Amaterasu prevailed, but the myth of the Izumo gods' challenge to central authority, and the awe that this inspired, means that Izumo holds a special historical and spiritual significance for Japanese.
