Myth of Izanami and Izanagi

== Introduction ==
primitive feeling/sence of divinity in everything  -->>
mythicizing (maybe by the trigger of getting characters)  -->>
八百万の神:Yao yorozu no kami (Divinity countless) in 神道:Shinto animism.
===== Kami =====
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kami
They are anywhere beyond counting, but we can call some of them by name to wish them to stay with us quietly, silently, peacefully, not crazy, not noisy, not loud, not to get angry, not to cry out. Please stay still with us, so we can welcome you, we can offer our food and drink, we can offer our entertainments, singing, dancing, talking, wrestling, gambling, no, no, not be noisy, please, please be still with us, please our dear lovely babies.
== Izanami and Izanagi ==
Divinity countless are babies of Iza-nami and Iza-nagi in the sea.
===== Izanagi no Mikoto =====

===== Izanami no Mikoto =====

"nami" means wave. "nagi" means calm. "Iza-" means "Let's", "Shall we?" 
"Shall we make a baby, Nami?" "My joy, Nagi", then countless babies came from their dynamic wave and static calm crossing.
Of course, it is only my interpretation. Actually, we cannot fix the origin of their proper names. We cannot know the language system of those days well .
They named their babies. They became 八百万の神:Yao yorozu no kami (Divinity countless). They are all of name/idea which we can treat in Japanese language system. They are like a class/object concept of object oriented desigh of software system.
They are also 言霊:Koto-dama (the mysterious spirits of language).
Today, some of them might become devil-fruites:-p
== Divinity of fire ==
When the fire Kagu-tsuchi was born, he happened to fire his mother Iza-nami, then she was dead.
===== Kagu tsuchi =====
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagu-tsuchi
Iza-nagi missed her and was sorry to sob with a lot of tears, then Naki-sawa-me was born from his tears. She is the spring water.
The fire Kagu-tsuchi was killed by Iza-nagi. Then the dead fire bore a lot of his babies.
In Japanese myth, a male can bear babies (words) alone. In Japanese language, common noun has no sex nor plural form grammatically. It might be because of the myth system, I suppose. Japanese grammar is free from complex declension. Instead of it, there are many kind of honorific polite expressions. One of them is counter suffix. It is a kind of honorific title for each noun category divinity. It is hard to avoid the title of honor for native Japanese speakers.I have an apple. ->　　りんご１"個"持ってる。: Ringo  1 "ko"  Motte ru.I have two pens. ->　　ペンを２"本"持ってる。: Pen wo 2 "hon" Motte ru.I ate three bananas. -> バナナ３"本"食べた。　: Banana 3 "bon" Tabe ta.Language is always mysterious for us. We can use it so so well, but we don't know what it is.
