ABSTRACT
Thereupon the God…who was waiting beside the rock-door, forthwith pulled it open, and the radiance of the Sun-goddess filled the universe.
Nihongi, I, 45 (720) 12 I will sing of well-founded Earth, mother of all, eldest of all beings. She
feeds all creatures that are in the world, all that go upon the goodly land, and all that are in the paths of the seas, and all that fly: all these are fed from her store. Through you, O Queen, men are blessed in their children and blessed in their harvests.
