About the GoddessUzume is the Ancient Japanese Goddess of Laughter, the Shaman Goddess. Her parable says that when the end of winter came the Sun God Amaterasu Omi Kami did not want to appear. The Gods and Goddesses and the people tried many ways to entice the sun out, but the sun refused his light and warmth. Uzume, seeing the problem, jumped up in front of the people. She wore a beautiful Kimono of silks and satins brightly coloured with flowers embroidered upon it and started to dance. As Uzume danced she allowed the Kimono to fall aside revealing her beautiful body. And then she danced not a sensual dance but the dance of the fool: she flung her legs, she wobbled her breasts, she fiddled and flounced, she bent and bounced, the dance was so risqué, rude and funny that despite the despair they were feeling, everyone started to laugh. As Uzume’s dance continued, the laughter turned into uproar with the audience bent double and tears of laughter pouring down their faces. The Sun God, his curiosity piqued, came out of the winter cave to see what was so funny and, joy oh joy, the sun’s light and warmth was bestowed again. There are times when fun and laughter help us towards gaining perspective and creates the energy to move forward. Here the feminine aspect enticed the masculine to change position not with beauty or with sexuality but with humour and outrageousness. | | | | |
