Later, having settled peacefully in Japan, they scattered throughout the land.

Azumi-no-Isora are also called Azumi-no-Isora-Maru, and it is for this reason that boats in Japan are named with the suffix "-maru," as a prayer to the Azumi for protection against disaster at sea. Azumi are identified with the shrine god Amenokoyane.
