ABSTRACT
This paper analyzed the snake myths that have been passed down on the two islands, Jeju in Korea and Okinawa in Japan, located in East Asia, focusing on the meanings of the basis of the ‘hole’ and ‘chaos’ by Zhuangzi. Almost all snake myths are similar in that they all share the same pattern of delivering meanings of transcendence, rebirth, abundance, and fecundity, rdless of the East or West. However, the pattern of the myth in Jeju Island and Okinawa is different from the existing ones that have been passed down in the other areas of the world. The snake myths of the two islands have two dimensions of meaning: the space of reality and ideal world. The key points of discussion for people living on two islands are two things. First, the ‘hole’ expressed as the space where they live is the foundation of religious belief. Second, the ultimate space of faith they pursue means ‘chaos’ that transcends the state of confusion and order. The two islanders formed the spaces of their faith in three aspects. The first area is a private house where they reside. The second is the sacred place around the house. This place is called Dangjip in Jeju and Uttaki in Okinawa. The third is the constellations and heaven that connect what they wish with the future.
