Question 8 options:

A) all of these choices.


B) all of the Kami.


C) the Japanese islands.


D) the whole universe.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) The Japanese islands

Step-by-step explanation:

Izanagi and Izanami are two deities in the Japanese Shinto religion, which are considered to be the creators of the Japanese Islands. This occurred through the union of the two deities. Also, they are considered to be the origin of other deities including the moon, the fire, and the storm. This means, Izanagi and Izanami were the origin of the Japanese islands, and some of the kami of goods, but not all of them as some originated before Izanagi and Izanami. Also, these two deities are not responsible for the origin of the universe because this emerged from the chaos. Thus, these two deities are credited with creating The Japanese Islands.
