Godzilla

myth:godzilla

Godzilla rose in 1954 out of the bomb: a primeval beast woken and made monstrous by atomic fire, the nuclear terror given a body to walk the ruined city. The catastrophe remembered as kaiju — exactly as older ages made the earthquake a thrashing catfish and the fossil bones of giants into dragons. A modern geomyth, born of a wound still fresh. — anime / tokusatsu history
