Description
Japanese Goddess of the Sun
Amaterasu Ōmikami was born when her father, Izanagi no Mikoto, was bathing to purify himself from the essence of the underworld. Upon washing his left eye, Amaterasu was born, followed by her younger brothers, Tsukiyomi, and Susanoo. According to her father’s will, Amaterasu ascended to the sky and was made goddess of the sun and ruler of the heavens, joined by Tsukiyomi as her consort and god of the moon.
Susanoo, who became the tempestuous storm god, was always at constant odds with his sister. In an audacious assault against her, Susanoo attacked the heavenly weaving hall upon which he slayed one of Amaterasu’s ladies-in-waiting and hurled a flayed horse at her loom. Enraged and frustrated, Amaterasu flew down to earth and his herself in a cave, depriving the world of sunlight.
As the world was engulfed in darkness, the gods gathered in council to devise a way to bring the sun back. Ame no Uzume, goddess of the dawn and revelry, was the won who concocted a plan to lure Amaterasu from the cave. The gods gathered outside the cave and planted a large Sakaki tree and from its branches hung jewels and an eight-sided mirror. Staged on an upturned wooden tub, Ame no Uzume performed a provocative dance, much to the amusement of the other gods. Amaterasu peeped out from within the cave, lured by the sounds of laughter and music, and caught sight of her own radiance reflected in the mirror. Distracted, the gods pulled her out and sealed the cave with a rock. Released from the cave, Amaterasu once again took her place in the heavens and sunlight was restored to the world.
Lol guess who’s forgone all opportunities to catch up with inktober …
