About this episode
This episode explores the Japanese creation myth involving Izanagi and the origins of life and death.
Japan wasn't built. It was born — dripped into existence from the tip of a jeweled spear. 🌊⛩️Izanagi descended into the underworld for love. What he found there split life and death forever.He washed his eyes. And from the water came the sun, the moon, and the storm.#japanesemythology #izanagi #shintoism
