Amaterasu's Regalia

While not many know about it, Amaterasu is the japanese goddes of the Sun. Her complete name is Amaterasu-ō-mi-kami, whom translates in "the great god who shines in the heaven". Sister of the Tempest god called Susanoo and Tsukuyomi, the god of the moon, born while the Greater God Izanagi depured himself from his expedition in the depth of the Yomi(the underworld)

Amaterasu and her rivality with Susanoo

While both they were brother and sister, everybody knows how fickle gods are, and how they can easily seek for revenge in the meanest way possible. Her rivality with her brother Susanoo started when Amaterasu was deemed ruler of the heavens and sun with Tsukuyomi, whom ruled the heavens and the moon. Izanagi, the greater god, Decided that it was for the best that Susanoo ruled over the earth. When Susanoo went to bid his farewell to his beloved sister, Amaterasu grew suspicious of him. As obvious as it was, since he was being thrown out.When Susanoo proposed a challenge to prove his sincerity, she accepted. Each of them took an object of the other's and from it birthed gods and goddesses. Amaterasu birthed three women from Susanoo's sword while he birthed five men from her necklace. Claiming the gods were hers because they were born of her necklace, and the goddesses were his, she decided that she had won the challenge, as his item produced women. Susanoo accepted the verdict but with time, rage and envy grew inside of him, bringing him to the verge of madness. In this moment of rage, he destroyed the rice field of the people protected by Amaterasu and killed one of her attendant. This brought a lot of shame on Amaterasu, whom decided to retire in a mountain to never show herself again. That period of time was called "the dark times."

Susanoo's sadness.

Such was the sadness that grew on the Tempest god, and such was the problems given by her retirement, that he, was forced, together with the other heavenly gods to try and convince Amaterasu to come out. And so they did: Together with the goddes Ama-no-Uzume a feast started right outside of the Ama-no-Iwato, the cave where Amaterasu refuged herself. A bronze mirror was hung right before the entrance, and then the feast started. The gods feasted so hard that Amaterasu couldn't do without going to look outside, only to be startled by the mirror. It is said that at the time, Amaterasu gave the outmost smile ad came out of Ama-no-Iwato, ending the dark times. Susanoo repented himself, and as reconciliation gift gave her the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi sword. The goddes Ama-no-Uzume instead gave her a jewel, and said: "in time of need, do keep this jewel with you, and call out to it."
