That Wikipedia page has everything your looking for. Japanese mythology is very difficult to follow, though. It has a lot of similarities with other polytheistic beliefs, but with it's on strange, Japanese feel to is.

You can follow links through that article to Izinagi/Izanami, Tsukyomi, Ameterasu, the story of Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, etc.

According to Kojiki, Izanagi god and Izanami goddess created former Japan islands and many deities after their marriage.

But when she was born Kagu-tuchi (incarnation of fire), her vagina was burned and then she died.

Izanagi felt great sorrow and he decided to go on a journey to Yomi to take back his wife Izanami. Then he found her and he asked her to return with him.

But her answer was “No”.

Because she was corrupted to eat underworld’s foods and she couldn’t any longer return to the living world.

He still begged her to return with him. And then she tried to ask the master of underworld to be able to return the living world. Instead, while she was asking, never to look into Yomi cavern.

Once he accepted that. But he couldn’t stand anymore because of waiting for a long time and then he broke her promise and looked into it.

He was surprised at her rotten ugly body. She noticed that he had looked herself.

Because of broken the promise, she got angry and eight hags (Shikome) was sent by Izanami to chase Izanagi out of the underworld to kill him.

Yomotsu-Hira-Saka (黄泉比良坂)


Izanagi burst out of the entrance and blocked with a huge rock in the mouth of the Yomotsu-hira-saka (cavern that was the entrance of Yomi). Izanami screamed from behind barricade and told Izanagi that if he left her she would kill 1000 of his people, and he replied that 1500 would be born everyday, if she did such a thing.

After running away from Yomi, he was cleansing his body at Ahagihara. Then he begot Amaterasu (the sun goddess) from his left eye, Tsukuyomi (the moon god) from his right eye and Susano-oh (tempest or storm god) from his nose.
