À propos de ce contenu audio

Japanese Mythology explores the explosive creation story of Izanagi and Izanami — the divine couple who stirred primordial chaos with a jeweled spear and birthed the islands of Japan. Why did their first marriage ritual fail when Izanami spoke first, and what happened to the rejected child Hiruko? The answer is stunning: he drifted to shore and became Ebisu, one of the Seven Lucky Gods. The episode plunges into the harrowing descent to Yomi, where Izanagi discovers his dead wife infested with thunder gods, sparking a divine curse that invented human mortality — one thousand deaths versus fifteen hundred births, every single day. From that trauma comes misogi purification, which births Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo from a single desperate bath. The hosts trace how the concept of kegare still lives in shrine hand-washing, sumo salt-throwing, and even Jujutsu Kaisen's curse system. Ancient japanese legends have never felt this immediate. #JapaneseMythology #IzanagiIzanami #Amaterasu #Kojiki #JapaneseGods
