Izanagi (伊邪那岐命)
With Izanami, the deity who created the land of Japan and bore the deities.
Izanagi is one of the pair who, in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, are commanded by the heavenly deities to make the land of Japan, and who then bear the deities, the mountains and the seas. With Izanami he is looked to as a deity of musubi, the tying of bonds. Imado Shrine in Tokyo, which enshrines the pair, gives that as its stated reason for being a bond-tying shrine: they are worshipped as deities who tie bonds and firm the foundation of production.
