Another story of Japanese myth Kojiki 1 / Creation of Japanese islands and birth of the gods / Kojiki 1

Please visit story of Kojiki 1,"Kuniumi to Kamiumi"
before you read this page.

The above picture is Samuhara Jinja shine in Osaka.
Samuhara means the first three gods,Amenominakanusi,Takamimusubi and Kamimusubi.
"Shambhala" = Utopia world deep inside of the Earth
(There are no bad people at all)

The shrine's root was originally in Okayama prefecture.




Onogoro or Onokoro island is the first island of Japan made by gods of the first husband and wife.
It is said that true Onogoro island is Ejima,Nushima or one of the Tomogashima islands around Awaji island.
I would say Awaji itself is Onogoro.
Anyway,there is a true Onogoro around Awaji island.
Awaji is also very important place in Japan and the largest producer of incense stick for Ancestor worship.

Awaji's shape means 6,comma-shaped jewel(Magatama) or embryo/fetus.
Magatama is one of a secret imperial regalia of Japan.


Onokoro Jima shrine in Awaji island.
Izanagi,Izanami and Kukuri-hime are worshiped in the shrine.
Together with Heian Jingu in Kyoto and Itsukusima Jinja in Hiroshima,these Torii gates are called the three Japan's largest Toriis.



Izanagi and Izanami's first child was failed.
It is called Hiruko.(Maybe disabled)
Hiruko also means unstable/floating continent = Mu/The lost continent 
It is said that Ebisu,god of wealth is derived from Hiruko.
I mean Hiruko turned into Ebisu.
This story means disabled child will become a god of wealth.


Ebisu is worshiped all over Japan especially at Nishinomiya Jinjya.

Izanami passed away because of a heavy burn after giving birth to god of fire Kagutsuchi.
Kagutsuchi is worshiped all over Japan especially in Akihasan hongu akiha Jinjya in Shizuoka and Atago Jjinja in Kyoto.
Each shrine has about 800 to 900 branch shrines.
And people who use fire in their work visit there to pray for fire-safety and dedicate thanks.
Because they can't work without fire.

Akihasan hongu akiha Jinja.
Gold Torii is rare.

Atago Jinjya.


Izanami's dead body was put in Mount Hiba.(Between Hiroshima and Shimane prefecture)
The middle mountain over the cloud is Hiba.
It is said that there is her tomb top of the mountain and
there are very old huge rocks all over Hiba.
Rock worship is one of the ancient Shinto's concept.
Also,magnetism is quite strange in this area.


Yomotsu Hirasaka (Yomi no Hirasaka) in Higashi-Izumo town,Shimene prefecture.
It is said that this slope road was a border between this world and the another world(Yomi).
Izumo Taisha shrine in the same prefecture is very important place as 
for "Hidden and buried God".
It means a sacrifice.

Kukuri-Hime the mystery goddess mede her father and mother peace at the slope road.
She is worshiped at Shirayama Hime Jinjya shrine in Ishikawa prefecture and other Shirayama/Hakusan group shrines all over Japan.
To the truth,She is the later Amaterasu the God of the Sun.
Of course,Amaterasu wasn't yet born at this time.
This meaning is "time is parallel".
and "Time is not irreversible".
If you have a sad memory and can't forget about it,please say like this
"It's already done" to yourself in the past.
You can heal your heart by the secret magic.



When Izanagi washed his body in the pond after visiting Yomi,the death world
three gods about water were created along with other many gods.
The three gods of the sea & water and Empress Jingu are worshiped in the shrine.

Eda Jinjya is located near the Misogi pond.
Of course Izanagi and Izanami are worshiped at this shrine.

After Izanagi created many gods,he went to Kakuri-no-miya in Awaji island(later Izanagi Jingu-shrine).
It was his retirement.
Now,he and his wife Izanami are worshiped in the shrine together.
One of the oldest shrine in Japan and many couples visit this shrine.

This shrine's crest is the same as family of Japan's Emperor.


By the way,Kojiki equivalent to Old testament
and later Nihon-Shoki is New testament.
