The Japanese consciousness has specific characteristics in comparison to the Western consciousness. Instead of the ego, the persona plays a central role in the Japanese consciousness. As Jung contends, the persona is the face displayed to the outside world. Why and how has the personal come to dominate the Japanese consciousness? This work draws on Japanese myths in the Kojiki, which explains the roots of the Japanese consciousness. “Island” is a symbol of the consciousness, so this work focuses on how land was created in Japanese myths. Japanese lands symbolize the birth of the Japanese consciousness. Based on the attitudes and behaviors of the heroic god Izanagi in the myths, land was created in the following process: (1) Gods in heaven offer advice on creating land, (2) The husband god and the wife god fill their respective roles, and (3) Impurity comes from the outside world, and shame arises. This process constitutes the Japanese consciousness and is still evident in the contemporary Japanese mindset. The Japanese Emperor is the direct descendant of the god Izanagi. According to the Japanese Constitution, the Japanese Emperor is the symbol of the Japanese people. The Imperial system has greatly influenced the Japanese mindset. By performing rituals and reading myths, Japanese people assume the Japanese consciousness. As a result, contemporary Japanese have a consciousness dominated by the persona.}, pages = {75--81}, title = {ペルソナ心理学と日本的意識}, volume = {39}, year = {} }
