Japanese Goddess of Happiness & Fun
|
Uzume (pronounced oo-zoo-may) is the Shinto goddess of happiness and fun. She is called Heaven's Daughter by the Japanese people and her name means "whirling". Also the goddess of health which is derived by drinking the blessed water from her streams. When the Japanese Sun Goddess "Amaterasu" hid in a cave, making the world barren and covered in darkness, Uzume drew her out by performing a bawdy dance that made fun of shamanic ritual. By exposing her breasts and playing with her genitals, she created an uproar that piqued Amaterasu's curiosity and she came out from her cave thus bringing light and life back to earth. About
