The Nihongi includes a variation on the creation myth of Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi in which Izanagi gave birth to the kami of the Sun, Moon and from the underground world of a mirror before they even perform the first act of procreation with his divine sister.
One day Izanagi Onogoro was only expressed his intention to give life to some descendants who ruled the world.
To do this, grab a white copper mirror with your left hand and look in the given form to a deity called Ohohirume, probably a pseudonym of Amaterasu, because it means the "Great Goddess of the South" when the Sun is at as high as the sky. Then Izanagi
identical to wake up a mirror right hand earlier and seen in the Tsukiyomi brought to life. Then look again at the same mirror, but this time sideways, and was born the god Susano. The first two deities
planned around a bright light, so Izanagi sent into the sky to illuminate the Earth. Tsukiyomi Ohohirume night and day. Susano however, was not so lucky and it is clear from the beginning that he was doomed as a carrier of destruction, so Izanagi government gave it the underground world of Yomi, where they lived demons and witches.
