Hachiman, also known as Yahata-no-Kami, is a Japanese god of war and archery. While a native Japanese deity, Hachiman has incorporated Buddhist elements due to religious syncretism in Japan. In the 9th century, Hachiman came to be identified as a deification of Emperor Ōjin, who, according to tradition, is said to be the 15th emperor of Japan who reigned from AD 270 to 310. | |||
