Although the islands were first formed by Izanagi and Izanami, the land was far from peace. Multiple demigods, spiritual deities, and beasts once roamed it. They intuitively hunted or fought against one another to survive. The first god from heaven who descended to Nakatsu Kuni was Susanoo, who was banished due to his reckless and callous behavior towards his elder sister, Amaterasu. His main contribution to dispelling the land's unrest was slaying the giant serpent beast, Yamata no Orochi, and creating his reign in Izumo.

  • Although the islands were first formed by Izanagi and Izanami, the land was far from peace. Multiple demigods, spiritual deities, and beasts once roamed it. They intuitively hunted or fought against one another to survive. The first god from heaven who descended to Nakatsu Kuni was Susanoo, who was banished due to his reckless and callous behavior towards his elder sister, Amaterasu. His main contribution to dispelling the land's unrest was slaying the giant serpent beast, Yamata no Orochi, and creating his reign in Izumo. Years after Susanoo's banishment, Amaterasu's descendants decided that heaven should claim Nakatsu-no-Kuni as their own property. Once they deemed the land to be in a "chaotic state", the deities of heaven gradually descended to rebuild it. Their actions provoked the residing deities in Nakatsu Kuni to arms, many of whom delighted the chaos that surrounded them and wanted to keep to their baneful ways. Several gods, both from heaven and Nakatsu Kuni, wanted the land for their own ambitions and resisted heaven's will. Gods loyal to heaven, who were foiled three times by their oppressors' greed, intensified their efforts in return. The incidents which followed thereafter is thought to have further shaped Japan's geography. The struggle for dominance in Nakatsu Kuni ended when Oukuninushi, the leader of Izumo, serenely offered to give Nakatsu-no-Kuni to heaven. His conditions were for him and his sons to be blessed with a palace in Nakatsu Kuni which is as sublime as the one in heaven. To appease Amaterasu's previous griefs caused by his father-in-law, Susanoo, Oukuninushi presented hundreds of delicacies for the gods' consideration. Takemikazuchi, the deity who was acting as heaven's representative at the time, agreed to these causes and ceased further transgressions with Nakatsu Kuni or humanity. Wars led by other deities and spirits would continue until Emperor Jimmu fought against the gods to create the first kingdom of Japan. His legacy would eventually include ruling over people within the islands.
