Omitsuno used a special spade. It was shaped like a young girl's breast. He used it to cut land. It was like cutting through fish gills. He cut off pieces of land.

He attached these pieces to a three-strand rope. He pulled this land towards Izumo. He used a lot of strength. The land moved like a boat on a river. Omitsuno encouraged the land by shouting. He said, "Come on, land!"
