Izanagi and Izanami - I really liked this story, the poetry was beautiful but for me, it was really hard to follow along and read because of the English used. Although I found it hard to read, I found it really enjoyable when saying it out loud to myself.
Another thing I loved about the story was the many characters, the Gods of the Sky and love and heavens. I thought this was a really inspiring idea to talk about 'life' before the Earth was created.
The Miraculous Mirror - Reading out loud was so fun! This is a story I had a lot of fun with and I want to convey something like this to the people who read my stories. I think it would be a lot of fun to write something like this. The character Uzume was one I really liked - as someone who loves to laugh I really related. The details were also really nice (I really liked the word shimmering)
