Izanami (伊邪那美命)
With Izanagi, the deity who created the land of Japan and bore the deities.
Izanami is the female half of the pair who make the land of Japan in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, bearing the deities and the features of the world with Izanagi. The two are commonly enshrined together and looked to as deities of musubi, the tying of bonds. Imado Shrine in Tokyo enshrines them alongside Emperor Ōjin and gives their presence as the reason it is a bond-tying shrine, describing them as worshipped for tying bonds and firming the foundation of production.
