Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on Izanami, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, continuously edited encyclopedia entry rather than a peer reviewed or institutional source. It is useful here for a well referenced general summary of Izanami's role in the Shinto creation narrative, and is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation. NotesWikipedia's community maintained article on Izanami. Consulted 2026-08-11 for her death giving birth to the fire god Kagutsuchi, her burial and transformation into ruler of Yomi, and the confrontation with Izanagi when he tried to retrieve her.
