The pair of Mateo-iwa rocks at the Futamigaura seashore in Japan represents the divine couple. The rock left is the mother, the small rock on the right is the son, and the largest rock is the father. The Gateway of Heavenly Deities on top of the larger rock is the universal sun door of life and death. Pagan religions teach a trinity of father-mother-son. Sun doors feature prominently in pagan religions as well.
