Izanagi and Izanami: At first I really like how the proverb style, prose works really well to set up the stories background and foreshadows the story. I love the idea of this Floating Bridge, it's so romantic and sets the scene. There are also a lot of cool names for stuff, like Goddess of the Clouds and Pillar of Earth. It just makes everything sound so cool. This is also, kind of a tragic love story between the couple.

The Miraculous Mirror: I like the really short descriptive nature of this story. It alludes to so much history and present many more gods and goddesses, like in the last story. The story continues to expanded upon the rivalry between the brother and sister, but in a way unlike the other European story tellings.
The Heaven-Descended: Again, I think the prose style makes the beginning of the story so much more interesting. Maybe I should try it for my storytelling. I think that it sets the tone up really well when the prose are woven throughout the story. I liked this story a lot it had a nice peaceful quality with it, especially with Princess Tree Blossom and Nathless Ninigi.
