Amaterasu · Japanese Sun Goddess — Ancestress of the Imperial House

Amaterasu (Amaterasu-Ōmikami) is the supreme deity and sun goddess of Japanese Shinto mythology — the decisive canon — the ruler of Takamagahara and the ancestor of the Japanese Imperial Family — the decisive canonical iconographic figure. The etymology is Amaterasu (, 'the one who illuminates heaven') + Ōmikami (, 'great deity') — the decisive canonical vocabulary — and aliases Ōhirume-no-Muchi (, 'great goddess of the sun'), Amaterasu-Ōmikami, and the Great Deity of Ise are the decisive canonical vocabulary. The decisive textual canon is the decisive origin canon of Kojiki Vol. 1 of 712 CE by Ō no Yasumaro — Amaterasu was born from Izanagi's left eye when he returned from Yomi and purified himself — and the decisive canon of Amaterasu hiding in Ame-no-Iwato (, Heavenly Rock Cave) in fury at her brother Susanoo's outrages, plunging the world into darkness. The decisive canon of Nihon Shoki Vol. 1 Age of the Gods of 720 CE by Prince Toneri, and the decisive canon of the principal deity of the Inner Shrine (Naiku) of Ise Grand Shrine and the Shikinen Sengū ritual every 20 years.

Origin

The iconographic origin is the decisive origin canon of ancient Japanese sun worship, and the decisive textual canon is the decisive origin canon of Kojiki Vol. 1 of 712 CE in which Izanagi went to Yomi to find his dead wife Izanami and returned to wash away the pollution in the river of Tsukushi, and Amaterasu was born from his left eye, Tsukuyomi from his right eye, and Susanoo from his nose — the decisive origin canon of the Three Noble Children . Amaterasu received the heavens of Takamagahara from her father and ruled them — the decisive canon — and the decisive canon in which her brother Susanoo ascended to heaven and broke the rice paddy ridges and threw impure things into the shrine, and Amaterasu in fury hid in Ame-no-Iwato (, Heavenly Rock Cave), plunging heaven and earth into darkness. The decisive canonical finale is the decisive mythological canon in which the other gods held a grand feast in front of Ame-no-Iwato, and Ame-no-Uzume's dance and the Yata-no-Kagami mirror drew Amaterasu out with curiosity, and Tachikarao opened the rock door, returning light to the world. The decisive canon of the Tenson Kōrin (, descent of the heavenly grandson) in which she sent her grandson Ninigi to the earth to become the ancestor of the Japanese Imperial Family, with the Three Sacred Treasures — Yata-no-Kagami, Yasakani-no-Magatama, and Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi — sent together.
