Kisah dan tradisi
Kojiki menceritakan Tsukuyomi muncul saat Izanagi membasuh mata kanannya dalam upacara penyucian. Ia termasuk tiga anak mulia. Namanya dikaitkan dengan perhitungan fase bulan. Sumber-sumber lama berbeda mengenai wilayah yang dipercayakan kepadanya: laut menurut satu versi Nihongi, malam menurut Kojiki. Versi lain Nihongi mengisahkan Tsukuyomi membunuh dewi makanan Ukemochi, lalu Amaterasu menjauhinya; kisah itu menjelaskan pemisahan siang dan malam. Tsukuyomi juga dipuja di Tsukuyomi no Miya di Ise.
The Kojiki says Tsukuyomi emerged when Izanagi washed his right eye during purification. He is counted among the three noble children. His name is connected with reading the phases of the moon. Older sources differ on his assigned realm: the sea in one Nihongi version, the night in the Kojiki. Another Nihongi version tells of Tsukuyomi killing the food deity Ukemochi, after which Amaterasu separates from him; the tale explains the division of day and night. Tsukuyomi is also worshiped at Tsukuyomi no Miya in Ise.
