(115) Ame-no-Uzume, the Misogi-no-jo Goddess

This is a wonderful painting of the Shinto goddess, Ame-no-Uzume, the patron of the arts of dancing and performance. She was famed for exposing her lovely breasts—- at the time of her sexy dance that made heaven laugh with joy and brought Amaterasu out of her cave, and when she showed Sarutahiko (Morihei believed he was an incarnation of this deity) the Way in this world. Ame-no-uzume is also the goddess of misogi-no-jo in Aikido.
