After his exhausting chase out of Yomi, Izanagi purified himself in a clear stream.
He washed the filth and rot of the underworld from his face, which created more gods.
He wiped his right eye and created Tsuki Yomi, god of the moon.
From his left eye, he created Amaterasu, goddess of the sun.
He wiped his nose and created Susano, god of storms.
