The Birth of Japan, Kuniumi   ~ the Eight Islands ( Part 1)

In Japanese mythology, Kuniumi, literally meaning "birth or formation of the country." It is the traditional and legendary history of the emergence of the Japanese archipelago, of eight islands, as narrated in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. According to this legend, after the creation of Heaven and Earth, the gods Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto were given the task of forming a series of islands that would become what is now Japan. 

In Japanese mythology, these islands make up the known world. The creation of Japan is followed by the creation of the gods (kamiumi). Before the Eight Islands were born, the first crippled child born, Hiruko (later known as 'Ebisu', the god of good fortune), was carried away on a reed boat, and then Awashima, and again he seems to have been a crippled child. Neither Hiruko nor Awashima is counted among the children of Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto.
