Mt. Fuji Creation Myth
If I lived in Japan, my belief for how the world was created would be that in in the beginning, there was nothing but Mt. Fuji. Then a little bird flew into the top of Mt. Fuji and ticked its insides. Mt. Fuji couldn’t hold back any more and it spewed out all this lava and minerals into the oceans, which then congealed and drifted apart. Humans (who began as sea creatures), curious what all this commotion was above them, crawled out of the oceans onto this land and liked it so much, they never went back. But sometimes, when certain humans go to the top of Mt. Fuji now, they feel a little longing for the sea. But they don’t know why.
