Chimatano, also called Chimata-no-kami or simply Chimata-no,
is the deity of signposts, crossroads, highways and footpaths. Chimatano is
said to be responsible for anything that happens at the places he rules over. His
symbol is the phallus, which is supposed to be stroked for luck.
Chimatano is said to be born when the god Izanagi took off
his trousers to wash himself after returning from the land of the dead known as
Yomi.
