I see what you referenced there, Susano-o.
The link is here, for good measure.
Like the story of Izanagi and Izanami little romp in Yomi, you can visit many places associated with this legend in real life.

These are so cool! I’ve heard about and learned bits and pieces of legends like these, but having it put together in a coherent story is wonderful, and I feel that I understand them much better now–even if you did, er, skim over a few minor details. :D The art and narrative style is really enjoyable as well! Thanks!

Thank you, I’m very glad you like them! I’ve been pulling together material from a variety of translations or simplified Japanese sources (seeing as reading the original is beyond my abilities), and the goal is to make them coherent and explain how real places in this region are associated with them. I’m working on the third story right now and expect to start posting it later this month. ^_^
