The Myojin of Life's Web was the patron spirit of all green-aligned things of Kamigawa - the forests, the forest inhabitants - kannushi priests, budoka monks and orochi, preserver of balance and nature. She was a patron spirit of Jukai. She manifested as a woman-faced figure with face looking like polished wood, with vines, moss and leaves for hair, tree trunks, branches, moss and vines for her body.

She wanted to restore the balance on Kamigawa by eliminating princess Michiko, whose birth, connected with Konda's crime and therefore the cause of the Kami War, she saw as an abomination. She ordered her orochi to capture the princess. They did, but she was later liberated by Toshi Umezawa. When the myojin confronted the ochimusha and demanded Michiko, Toshi refused and fought her with the help of Myojin of Night's Reach's blessings. He silenced the throats of her worshippers, cutting her from her source of sustenation. Defeated, her body withered and fell apart into deadwood.

She was later seen blessing and helping her [[orochi] in battle with soratami, though this time only her face manifested.
