, also known as , is a Japanese kami and a part of the Shinto pantheon.
==Etymology== The 年 (nen) kanji originally meant "harvest", which became "year" over time as harvest happened once each year. Toshigami was therefore the god of abundant harvests, and specifically of grain or rice. The character 神 (kami) literally means "god" or "deity".
