Transcription: Having fled the kingdom of death, the god Izanagi blocked the entrance of the nether regions with a boulder, thus preventing the goddess Izanami from entering the kingdom of the living. From behind the big stone, the goddess Izanami said, My dear friend, my beloved, you will be punished. Every day I shall strangle one thousand natives of your kingdom. Oh, my dear, fair and beautiful wife, if you do so, I shall build fifteen hundred houses of birth. Once tender lovers, they became bitter enemies.
