Mythology

Some tellings say that the eight deities were from the maggots of Izanami's rotting corpse. Many versions of the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki state that after Izanagi saw his wife in such a state and fled in terror, Izanami sent the Yomotsu-shikome, 150 warriors, and the eight thunder kami after him.
