Yomotsu Hirasaka

The myth, which holds that there is a boundary place between the realms where the living and the dead reside, is an idea that is shared by the Sanzu River and others, and can be found throughout the world.

Numbed by Izanami's reluctance to return, Izanagi lights the teeth of a comb on fire to illuminate the darkness and sees her ugly, rotting form.

Enraged, Izanami sends the demoness Shikome to chase after the fleeing Izanagi, but to no avail, as the ugly woman was distracted by eating the grapes and bamboo shoots he threw at her.

Finally, Izanami herself gave chase, but Izanagi placed the Rock of Senbiki (a huge stone that would require the strength of a thousand men to move) on Hiraizaka and blocked the way.

[3] According to "Unyo Shishi" written in Edo period, there is also a legend of Izanagi throwing peach fruits to the god of thunder at Komakaerizaka in Iwasaka, Matsue City.
