In the beginning there was nothing - a void. Then the ancient gods and goddesses breathed life into lumps of clay, and a great nation rose before them. So begins the Japanese creation myth, as recorded centuries ago in the Kojiki. It's an origin story unlike any other, retold for the first time in a stunning illustrated version by prize-winning artist Kazumi Wilds. Combining the raucous rhythms and gripping imagery of a graphic novel with the classic patterns of an origin story - myth, magic, and monsters take center stage in this bold reworking of a timeless tale
