In this story, you’ll learn about:
⚰️ Izanagi’s journey to the Underworld (Yomi no kuni)
🚪 The forbidden door and the promise he breaks
🍇 The magical fruits that save him from the demons
🍑 The divine power of peaches and how they became symbols of protection in Japan
🪨 The great rock that forever separates the world of the living from the dead
