The statue of Ame-no-Uzume at Amanoiwato-jinja, Takachiho, Japan.
Ameno Uzume, or Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, is the goddess of dawn, mirth and revelry. When Amaterasu hid in the Heavenly Rock Cave, Ameno Uzume danced in front of her cave to lure her out. Then the other Divinities captured Amaterasu and brought light back into the world.
