Abstract

[In Takamagahara (the Plain of High Heaven) a number of deities have come into existence. Below lies a swirling mass of liquid. Two of the deities, Izanagi (‘He Who Invites’) and Izanami (‘She Who Invites’), are sent to turn this liquid into land. Izanagi dips his spear into the liquid and the drops that fall coagulate into the island of Onogoro (‘Se1f-Curdling’ Island). The two deities descend to populate it.]
