M3 Japanese Creation

            I enjoy the Japanese creation myth. There’s an innocence to it that makes it endearing. Whereas many creation myths are visceral, even violent (especially when it comes to sex) the Japanese myths adopts a childlike purity. Izanagi (the male god) and Izanami the (female goddess) approach sex in its simplest (almost mechanical) form with innocent curiosity. The observe the differences between their two bodies, and wonder what would happen if they joined together.
