Goddess | Shinto

Goddess of the sun and ancestor of the imperial family; her withdrawal into the rock cave plunges the world into darkness; coaxed out by the lewd dance of Ame-no-Uzume. The Yata no Kagami (sacred mirror) — one of the three Imperial Regalia — is kept at the Ise Grand Shrine in her honor. She is the supreme kami of the Shinto pantheon and the divine source of imperial legitimacy.

Parallels: Ra (Egyptian), Apollo (Greek), Surya (Hindu) — though uniquely female among supreme solar deities; Demeter in cave-withdrawal myth See also: Susanoo, Tsukuyomi, Izanagi and Izanami
