Answer the following questions. Your response paper should be 5 pages in length (12 point font Times Roman, double spaced) You also need a title page (name, course, date, title of the paper) and a “works cited” page (since you are working from class handouts, cite then as “Supplementary Reading #1, p. 25”, if you use other sources, please cite them according to MLA style). Back up your arguments with citations from the texts.

The Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters), dated 712, contains various stories about the mythological origin of Japan. Choose two examples from your reading and explain the relationship between the gods, human beings, and Japanese culture.

For your discussion consider the following points:

• What does the word “Shinto” mean? How does it relate to Japanese culture?
• How is Shinto an expression of Japanese nation identity?
• Who are Izanami and Izanagi? Why are they important for the Japanese creation myth in the Kojiki?
• Who is Amaterasu? Why is she significant for the Japanese?

There might be an overlap of these points since they are interrelated.
