NAME: Ame No Uzume
DESCRIPTION
The Kami of dawn, mirth and revelry, and the wife of fellow-
Kami Sarutahiko Okami. Uzume famously relates to the tale of the
missing sun deity, Amaterasu Omikami. She is also known as Omi-
yanome-no-okami, an inari kami. Amaterasu's brother, the storm Ka-
mi Susano-o, had vandalized her rice fields, threw a flayed horse at her
loom, and brutally killed one of her maidens due to a quarrel between
them. In turn, Amaterasu became furious with him and retreated into
the Heavenly Rock Cave. The world, without the illumination of the
sun, became dark and the Kami could not lure Amaterasu out of her
hiding place. Uzume overturned a tub near the cave entrance and be- Points

about. When she opened the cave, she saw the jewel and her glorious
reflection in a mirror which Uzume had placed on a tree, and slowly
came out from her clever hiding spot. At that moment, the Kami Ame-
no-Tajikarawo-no-mikoto dashed forth and closed the cave behind her,
refusing to budge so that she could no longer retreat. Another Kami
tied a magic shimenawa across the entrance. The deities Ame-no-
Koyane-no-mikoto and Ame-no-Futodama-no-mikoto then asked
Amaterasu to rejoin the divine. She agreed, and light was restored.
