THE FIRST GODS. THE FIRST LOSS. THE FIRST WORLD.

Step into the mist with Echoes of Japan—a mythology podcast retelling the ancient stories of Japan in their original, poetic form.

In this first episode, we dive into Japan’s creation myth, following the primordial gods Izanagi and Izanami as they give shape to the land, birth the islands of Japan, and descend into darkness.

Discover the mythic origins of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo—the sun, moon, and storm deities of Japanese legend.

If you’ve ever wondered how the world began in Shinto mythology, or who forged Japan from chaos and silence, this is where it starts.
