Izanagi or Izanaki , formally known as Izanagi-no-Mikoto meaning “He-who-invites” or the “Male-who-invites”), is the creator deity (kami) of both creation and life in Japanese mythology. He and his sister-wife Izanami are the last of the seven generations of primordial deities that manifested after the formation of heaven and earth.
About Izanagi
The names Izanagi (Izanaki) and Izanami are often interpreted as being derived from the verb izanau (historical orthography izanafu) or iⁿzanap- from Western Old Japanese ‘to invite’ , with -ki / -gi and -mi being taken as masculine and feminine suffixes, respectively.The literal translation of Iⁿzanaŋgî and Iⁿzanamî are ‘Male-who-invites’ and ‘Female-who-invites’.Shiratori Kurakichi proposed an alternative theory which instead sees the root iza- (or rather isa-) to be derived from isao (historical orthography: isawo) meaning ‘achievement’ or ‘merit’
The etymological origin of the verb is suggested to be a precursor to the Middle Korean lemma yènc- meaning ‘to place/put on [the top of]’ reconstructed as *yenc-a (place-INF) in OK.This does coincide with other related mythological figures related to a source in the Korean peninsula like Susanöwo.
Myth
Izanami (‘she who invites’) and Izanagi (‘he who invites’) are the primordial gods of the Shinto religion who are believed to have created the islands of Japan and given birth to many of the other Shinto gods or kami.
The myths of Japanese popular religion derive from oral traditions codified for posterity in two books: the Nihon Shoki, published in 720 CE and the Kojiki written by an official of the Empress Gemmyo between 708 and 714 CE. An additional source, the Kogoshui was written in c. 807 CE by Imibe-no-Hironari who collected together oral traditions omitted from the Nihon Shoki and Kojiki.
