In this episode, I talk about Susanoo and Amaterasu's first major interaction. This story focuses mostly around Susanoo and his impetuous behavior as depicted in his first major appearance in mythology. However, Susanoo is portrayed as many things, which we will see in coming weeks. Included below is a list of names of Gods and Japanese terms that have appeared in this podcast as well as references to the works that I used to help make this podcast available to you. The works are in Japanese, but if you can read Japanese and would like to support the original authors, I highly recommend doing so! If you would like to get into contact with me with just a comment or question, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or https://anchor.fm/peachykoi . I will consider some social media options in the future!
