According to the Kojiki, the gods of creation Izanagi and Izanami were responsible for the kuniumi (creation of land). To achieve this, they received a spear decorated with magatama (curved gems) from the older heavenly gods. The two deities then went to the bridge between heaven and earth, Ame-no-ukihashi, and churned the sea below with the spear. When drops of salty water fell from the tip, they formed into the first island, Onogoro. Izanagi and Izanami then descended from the bridge of heaven and made their home on the island.
