Origin of Dali Nippon, According I"
Shinto MytholoEy-
According to the Shinto mythology.
in the beginning chaos reigned. and in
it were contained the germs of all
things. From chaos was evolved u
race of heavenly beings termed "ce-
lestial kami,'' OF whom Izanagi n
male, and Izanami, female, Were tho
last.
These two were instructed by the
other deities to descend from heaven
and beget islands. ana TO help them
on their mission they Were presented
with a jewelcd spear Standing on :,
bridge floating in tho ether. they reach
cd down and stirred the brine and then
drew up the spear. The brine that
drippcd from this weapon was hcapcd
up and became the Island of OnoSoro,
and on it the pair descended and
begat several other Islands.
Tile first OF these was Iiruso. but as
it did not meet with the approval Of
the dcities it was put into boat and
allowed TO hoat away The next was
the island Of Ava, and so in succession
were produced the remaining islands
of the archipelago, now termed by
Europeans Japan" but by the .Japa-
