Ame-no-Uzume : The Goddess of Dawn


Listen Later

In the Shinto religion of Japan, Ame-no-Uzume is regarded as the goddess of dawn, meditation, revelry, and the arts. She is the wife of fellow-god Sarutahiko Okami. In Japanese mythology, she relates to the story of Amaterasu Omi Amenouzume, who went missing. The celestial goddess who performed this dance enticed Amaterasu out of the cave where she had been hiding.

According to some stories, Ame-no-Uzume is often seen wearing revealing clothes, but other kami find her to be more joyful and open-hearted. Unlike Amaterasu, who is reserved and strict, Ame-no-Uzume is not afraid to bring joy to others.
