Kagutsuchi

History

Kagutsuchi was the child of Izanagi and Izanami, the two divine creator gods in Japanese mythology. Izanami gave birth to Kagutsuchi after already birthing many other deities. However, Kagutsuchi's fiery nature killed his mother during the birthing process. According to the creation myth detailed in sources like the Kojiki, Kagutsuchi's birth destroyed Izanami's body as she was enveloped in his flames. Before dying, Izanami gave birth to another deity - Mizuhame, the god of water, who was said to counteract Kagutsuchi's fiery power. In the Kojiki version, Izanagi immediately slew Kagutsuchi after his difficult birth, cutting him into eight pieces that became volcanoes. Kagutsuchi's blood also became notable water deities. read more
