AI-written summary
Ame-no-Uzume no Mikoto is a kami in Japanese mythology best known for her role in the myth of Amaterasu's withdrawal into the cave, where her bold, comedic dance and disrobing drew the sun goddess out and restored light to the world. Because of this episode, she is traditionally honored as a deity associated with dance, performance, and revelry, and is often regarded as a forerunner of practitioners of the arts. She is also linked in some traditions to mirth and the diffusing of tension through laughter and spectacle.
