Started this on Valentines day as a piece of fan art for ayakashi. This picture is based on the story of Tsukuyomi & Amaterasu, may the sun and moon meet during next years Valentine. The following passage is taken from wikipedia:

" Tsukuyomi was the second of the "three noble children" born when Izanagi-no-Mikoto , the god who created the first land of Onogoro-shima , was cleansing himself of his sins while bathing after escaping the underworld and the clutches of his enraged dead wife, Izanami-no-Mikoto . Tsukuyomi was born when he washed out of Izanagi's right eye. However, in an alternate story, Tsukuyomi was born from a mirror made of white copper in Izanagi's right hand.
After climbing a celestial ladder , Tsukuyomi lived in the heavens, also known as Takamagahara, with his sister Amaterasu Ōmikami , the sun goddess .
Tsukuyomi angered Amaterasu when he killed Uke Mochi , the goddess of food. Amaterasu once sent Tsukuyomi to represent her at a feast presented by Uke Mochi. The goddess made the food by turning to the ocean and spitting out a fish, then facing the forest and game came out of her mouth, and finally turned to a rice paddy and coughed up a bowl of rice. Tsukuyomi was utterly disgusted by the fact that, although it looked exquisite, the meal was made in a disgusting manner, and so he killed her.
Soon, Amaterasu learned what happened and she was so angry that she refused to ever look at Tsukuyomi again, forever moving to another part of the sky. This is the reason that day and night are never together. "
