If you will remember from our mythology series, Izanami had died giving birth to the god of fire. Grief stricken by the loss of his wife, Izanagi vowed to go to the Underworld (Yomi) and bring her back. In order to bring her back, he had to travel down the Yomotsu Hirasaka, the path to the Underworld.Dec 28, 2016
