They were probably introduced into Japanese myth in order to account for the existence of the Sun- goddess and other deities, and to link them together by a common parentage.

Musubi means growth or production. In the old myths th...ere are two Musubi deities, viz. Taka- musubi and Kamu - musubi (high - growth and divine-gi'owth).

In later times there were no fewer than eight Musubi who had shrines in the precincts of the Imperial palace. The worship of this god is now much neglected.
