PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to find the meaning of the God of Fire related to the kitchen space of traditional private houses specialized in the island culture of Jeju and Okinawa.
CONTENTS Through mythology, the two islands interpreted the meaning of the god of fire differently from those of the land. And the meaning was projected into daily life to make it a channel through which nature and humans communicate. This myth reflects the actual beliefs and feelings of the local people living on the island. The most notable cultural feature of the two-year survey is the culture of anger on the two islands. However, they gained positive and hopeful energy through myths from their living environment, which is the foundation for self-realization.
RESULTS The correlation between the two islands' myths can be understood by overcoming existing social prejudice and indifference to island culture. In short, the people of the two islands transformed myths into storytelling patterns to gain psychological comfort and stability in terrible environmental situations. And they made up the space of the house and the kitchen into small cosmos. They created a new place of faith through the help of the kitchen and the god of fire. From this point on, he aimed at the universe in an endless cycle of birth and death.
