The Sun Goddess
Strong, independent and revered


Origin: Japan
Austere and dignified, Amaterasu is one of the traditional Shinto goddesses of the sun and universe. She was forced to hide from her evil brother in a cave for a very long time, depriving the people of her radiant life giving light and keeping them in the dark. Her escape from the cave is associated with the winter solstice, where long days full of sunshine represent her long-awaited return and strong demeanor.
