IZUMO
Shinto legendary place
Also known as Idzumo
The first inhabited land and Underworld Central Station
This old province of Japan is reputed to be the original first inhabited piece of newly created Earth.
It is known as ‘The Central Land of The Reed Plains.’ The reeds did not have to whisper as all the trees and flowers could speak at the time. Eventually noisy humans filled the world with gobbledygook and banal utterings. After that, the plants decided to stay at levels more or less inaudible to thick human ears.
Izumo is full of caves and tunnels leading to mysterious places, and is reckoned to be a gateway to Yomi, the Underworld. A kind of mystical metro system, Izumo connects Heaven and Earth together and is regularly used by the gods commuting to meetings. Unfortunately the main entrance is usually blocked by a large boulder placed there by Izanagi to keep the mortals out.
