Oyashima大八州alternative words: Ooyashima, Oh yashima, 8 major islands, 8 main islands keywords: mythology related topics: Nihonshoki , Izumo dynasty , Izanagi Izanami explanation: 8 major islands to which the gods Izanagi Izanam gave first birth, i.e. Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Owaji, Oki, Tsushima, Iki, Sado. All the major islands in "Japan sea" being present while none of islands in "Pacific ocean", it corroborates that Izanami Izanagi legend should have been created by Izumo dynasty. Nihonshoki cites different versions on the appearance order (some sources added even Korean lands), but it is always Awaji island which appears first. | |
