| Goddess name "Susano-Wo ascends with her to heaven but is thrown out after trying to enter her house and committing various excesses. Amaterasu refuses to be sullied and obstinately hides herself away in a cave. It requires the combined diplomacy and craft of many other deities to persuade her to come out. The lure is the perfect divine mirror in which she sees her reflection. The birth of the two deities is considered to mark the transition between cosmic and material genesis." | Sometimes her shrines are placed adjacent to those of Susano - Wo | The Ise Naiku sanctuary is visited by about five million devotees each year and Amaterasu takes pride of place in every family shrine.
