Izanagi

Its expansion period is 57 months, a period that ties with the sixth postwar economic expansion, the "Izanagi boom" (trough in October 1965 and peak in July 1970).

A reconstruction of the mantle flowing under the Pacific Ocean about 50 million years ago suggests that the submergence of the Izanagi Plate near East Asia reversed the flow's direction.

This divine lord most often is called God by his devotees, but appropriation of the general term 'God,' capitalization notwithstanding, for the God of Abraham seems a little ungenerous to the devotees of Siva, Izanagi, and Pachamama.

Finally, the goddess Izanami (who had made love to the God Izanagi to create the islands that would form Yamato, the ancient name of Japan) died of giving birth to the god of Fire.

For example, the mythological passage of the quarrel between the couple Izanagi and Izanami, who gave birth to the islands of future Japan, shows clearly the division of the country of the Alive and of the Dead:

But in the Jurassic and Cretaceous, the development of inland lakes was mainly affected by subduction of the ancient Izanagi Plate in the east side or the Tethyan oceanic Plate in the south side [18, 19].

Or maybe the Japanese, where Izanagi thrust his staff into the sea and pulled up some clumps of mud, which became the Japanese islands.

Average annual economic growth during the latest expansion slipped below 2 percent in terms of real gross domestic product, compared with over 10 percent recorded in the previous record expansion in late 1960s -- dubbed the ''Izanagi boom'' -- and some 5 percent in the bubble economy period around 1990.
