She is the goddess to connect with if you wish to produce something, or want to prosper well. She is the mother god who gave birth to the land, bore the other gods, gave life to people and created `life` and `death`.
When she deliered the god of fire, Kagutsuchi, she died of burns to her genital area. Her grieving huband, Izanagi, chased Izanami to Yominokuni. In death, Izanani appeared grotesque. Her figure which frightened Izanagi and he fled Yominokuni in fear. Izanami went berserk by his actions and said, `What a rude man! I'll kill 1,000 humans a day for this' which became the origin of `death` for humans.
This myth talks of Izanani residing in Yoinokuni as an grotesque figure. In reality, Izanami retains her beauty and liveliness. She is still a kind mother who is watching over everybody.
