Source passages

“Some people identified Dangun with Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the government not wanting to take a stand on this enshrined the generic Okunitama at Chōsen Jingu so believers could have their own interpretations. In 1936 Keijō Shrine released a memo saying that Okunitama was in fact a generic title for any Korean deity”
