Abstract
<p>In Koji-ki, Prince Homuchiwake is born dumb under the curse of the God of Izumo. When the prince is sent to Izumo to break the spell, there a man named Kihisatsumi treats him to a great banquet that miraculously cures his dumbness. Of course the banquet is a metaphor for a religious ceremony, but it is more shamanistic than those administered by the imperial government in Yamato. Instead of a mere provincial area far away from the capital, Izumo is thus represented as a spiritual space quite different from the official one, a gateway to the other world.</p>
