Sarutahiko Ōkami

Sarutahiko (猿田彦), also known as Sarutahiko Ōkami (猿田彦大神), is a deity in Japanese mythology and Shinto religion. The name Sarutahiko is often translated as "Monkey Field Man" or "Monkey Field Prince," with "Saru" (猿) meaning "monkey," "ta" (田) meaning "field," and "hiko" (彦) meaning "prince" or "man." In Hebrew, the name could be translated as סארוטהיקו, though this is not a direct translation but rather a transliteration. Sarutahiko is known for being a guide and a messenger, often associated with opening the way for other deities. He is prominently featured in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, two of Japan's oldest historical records, where he is depicted as a guide for the sun goddess Amaterasu's grandson, Ninigi, when he descends from heaven to earth. Sarutahiko is also revered as a deity of guidance, protection, and the opening of new paths, and is often worshipped at shrines dedicated to travel and safe journeys.
