Therefore, there is this idea that the kamado forms a boundary between the world of shadows, the underworld, or "reikai" (next world) and the "utsushiyo" (actual world); and that the Kamado-gami is an ambiguous god, who plays a role as a mediator between both worlds and as a regenerator of order.
したがって、影や裏側の領域、霊界（他界）と現世との境界を構成する場所とし、かまど神を両界の媒介、秩序の更新といった役割を持つ両義的な神とする考え方もある。
