The Japanese Creation Myth Explained in under 3 Minutes
The Japanese Creation Myth.
In the mists of time, before the world as we know it took shape, there was a realm of chaos and serenity coexisting in delicate harmony. This was the realm of Takamagahara, where the gods known as kami resided. Among these divine beings was Izanagi, the Heavenly Male, and Izanami, the Earthly Female.
Izanagi and Izanami stood upon the Floating Bridge of Heaven, gazing down into the void below. They took a sacred spear and dipped it into the swirling chaos, and as they lifted it, droplets fell back into the abyss. These drops gave birth to the islands of Japan, transforming the emptiness into a land of beauty.
