User Text 1 Futami Bay’s “wedded rocks” are two offshore standing stones, symbolically linked with thick rope. For Shintoists, the rocks represent Izanagi and Izanami, the gods who raised Japan from the sea. They stood on the Amanohashidate, the floating bridge between heaven and earth, and created the land from the sea with a jeweled spear. The bridge they stood upon fell to earth to create a narrow pine-covered isthmus in Kyoto prefecture.
