Izanagi and Izanami, despite being the progenitors of Japan, are not prominent gods. Compared to Amaterasu and Susanoo, there are fewer shrines and places of legend dedicated to them. Why were these great couple gods marginalized? Behind this was the political intention of the Fujiwara clan, centered around Fujiwara no Fuhito, who compiled the *Nihon Shoki* (Chronicles of Japan)――.
