Yomi, or Yomi-tsu-kuni, is the underworld of the Shinto religion, even if it forms no part of Shinto theology and appears only in ancient myths as told in the 8th-century CE Kojiki, notably the story of the creator gods Izanami and Izanagi. https://www.worldhistory.org/Yomi/ #History #Amaterasu #Ghost #IzanamiandIzanagi
