Japanese History: The Founding Myth - English
URL: http://www.variable.net/hidden/japan/D1_1.J.HTM

Also known as the "Prince Yamato Myth" (Nihan Shoki / Kojiki), the founding myth of Japan involves the relation between man and the Kami or Natural Spirits/'gods'. The Kami came into existence on a plane parallel to the Prime Material, whence Japan is created after Izanagi (the male) 'dips his spear into the ocean' and creates Japan along with Izanami (the female). They produce a pantheon of gods, and it is through this natural divinity that the hegemony of the Yamato House is mythically legitimized.
