Sukunami no Kami

Sukunami no Kami 少御神 is an abbreviated reference to Sukunabikona no Kami 少名毘古那神 who, together with Ōnamuchi 大穴牟遅, created the Central Land of the Reed Plains, or Japan, in early mythology. He is mentioned here purely for a play on words, in that sukuna means ‘not much’and kami while meaning ‘god’also means ‘paper’.
