More about the book
Focusing on the minor goddess Ame no Uzume from Japanese mythology, the book explores her significance through Tsurumi Shunsuke's interdisciplinary approach. Uzume's comic-shamanistic dance lures the Sun Goddess Amaterasu from her cave, symbolizing restoration and light. Tsurumi identifies eight key traits of Uzume, linking them to various influential women across history and culture, from kabuki founders to contemporary artists. His analysis encourages reflection on addressing pressing global issues like climate change and human rights through Uzume's democratic and pacifist ideals.
