My personal shrine to Ame no Uzume no Mikoto

I hired an artist last year to begin work on some art for me.  Now that it's done, I've had it framed and made it a part of my personal shrine.  The pictures involve Ame no Uzume no Mikoto, dancing before the cave of Amaterasu Omikami.  The three pictures represent night, dawn, and day, and her various states of dress.  In the story, she winds up undressing as part of the dance, to get the other kami riled up, drawing Amaterasu Okami's attention and getting her to come out of her cave, allowing the sun to shine down once more.  The artwork is lovely, and done by Anticia (link is to her Etsy page).  She's been a joy to interact with, and went far beyond the call of duty in making these pictures.

art, personal, shinto
