Japanese Mythology & Deities

Major Gods in the Chronicles (12)

The Birth of Japan, Kuniumi / Part 2 ~ the Eight Islands

Izanagi-no-Mikoto (♂) and Izanami-no-Mikoto (♀) returned to Kotoamazu-kami (the heavenly gods) and burned the bones of a deer to predict it. The two gods started over from where they met. ①And the child born to them was Awajinohonosawake-no-Shima - today's Awaji Island. ②Next, they gave birth to the island of Shikoku, named after two men and two women in Iyo. This island has one body and four faces. The country of Iyo is called Ehime, the country of Sanuki (today's Kagawa) is called Iyorihikoiko, and the country of Awa (today's Tokushima) is Ogetsuhime - later to appear as a food god - and the country of Tosa (today's Kochi) is called Takeyoriwake. ③Then they gave birth to the Oki Island. Also known as Ame-no-Oshikorowake. ④Then they gave birth to the island of Kyushu. This island also has one body and four faces, and each face has its own name. And the country of Tsukushi (today's Fukuoka) is called Shirahiwake, Toyokuni (today's Oita) is called Toyohiwake, the country of Hie (today's Nagasaki & Saga) is called Takehimukai-toyokujihinewake, the country of Kumaso (today's Kumamoto) is called Takehiwake.Also known as Ame-no-Oshikorowake.

⑤Then they gave birth to the island of Iki. It is also known as Ame-no-hitotsubashira. 

⑥Then they then gave birth to Tsushima. It is also known as Ame-no-sadeyorihime. 

⑦Then they gave birth to the island of Sado.

⑧Finaly, they then gave birth to the island of Oyamato-toyoakitsushima (Yamato, today's Honshu island), also known as Amatsumisora-toyoakitsunewake. The two gods gave birth to these eight islands, and therefore this country is called Oyashima no Kuni (the land of the eight islands).
