Izanagi

Izanagi is a deity in Japanese mythology and then Shintoism.

He and his spouse Izanami bore many islands, deities, and forefathers of Japan. When Izanami died in childbirth, Izanagi tried (but failed) to retrieve her from Yomi (a hades). In the cleansing rite after his return, he beget Amaterasu (the sun goddess) from his left eye, Tsukiyomi (the moon god) from his right eye, and Susanowo (sea or wind god) from his nose.


Izanagi (in the modern age) is a hidden Japanese organization that is rumoured to be waiting to survive the end of the world. It is suggested that the modern Izanagi Union have interests in Neo-Celtic/Christian American organizations who have similar beliefs in prophecies and scriptural study. However, there is still no evidence of this to date.
