Amaterasu

Also known as Amaterasu Omikami, Amateru Kami, or Ohirume no Muchi. Her name translates to “The Great Divinity Illuminating the Heavens.”

She’s the central deity of Shinto mythology/religion. She’s the sun goddess & the traditional mythical ancestor of the Japanese Imperial Family. She is also portrayed in Japan’s earliest literary texts, the Kojiki (circa 712 CE; “Records of Ancient Matters”) & the Nihon Shoki (720 CE; “The Chronicles of Japan”).

As the ruler (or 1 of the rulers) of the heavenly realm, Takamagahara & as the mythical ancestress of the Imperial House of Japan via her grandson, Ninigi. Along with 2 of her siblings (Tsukuyomi, the moon deity & Susanoo, the impetuous storm-god), she ranks as 1 of the “Three Precious Children,” the 3 most important offspring of the creator god, Izanagi.

Amaterasu’s main place of worship, the Grand Shrine of Ise in Ise, Mie Prefecture, is 1 of Shinto’s holiest sites & a major pilgrimage center & tourist spot. As with other Shinto kami, she’s also enshrined in several Shinto shrines throughout Japan.

Both the Kojiki & Nihon Shoki agree that Amaterasu is the daughter of the God Izanagi & the older sister of Tsukuyomi & Susanoo. According to the Kojiki, Amaterasu was not born through standard procreation. But emerged from the left eye of Izanagi, as he performed a ritual purification (misogi) in a river. He was washing away the pollutants of Yomi (the underworld) after a failed attempt to rescue his deceased wife, Izanami.

Impressed by her brilliance, Izanagi granted Amaterasu his sacred bead necklace & placed her in charge of Takamagahara (the High Plain of Heaven). Her brothers were born alongside her from his nose.

One of the legends in the Shoki tells that Amaterasu ordered her sibling Tsukuyomi to go down to the terrestrial world & visit the goddess Ukemochi. When Ukemochi vomited food from her mouth & gave it to Tsukuyomi at a banquet, a disgusted & offended Tsukuyomi slew her & returned to Takamagahara. This single act angered Amaterasu, causing her to split away from Tsukuyomi. Thus separating night from day.

Amaterasu then sent another god, Ame-no-Kumahito, who found various food crops and animals emerging from Ukemochi’s corpse. Amaterasu had the grains collected & sown for humanity’s use &, putting the silkworms in her mouth, reeled thread from them. From this began agriculture & sericulture (silk farming).

When Susanoo was expelled by his dad, Izanagi, for his troublesome nature & incessant wailing on account of missing his deceased mother, Izanami, for his troublesome nature & incessant wailing on account of missing his deceased mom. He went up to Takamagahara to say farewell to Amaterasu.

A suspicious Amaterasu went out to meet him dressed in male clothing & in armor, at which Susanoo proposed a trial by pledge (ukehi) to prove his sincerity. In the ritual, the 2 gods each chewed & spat out an object carried by the other. 5 (or 6, in some tellings), gods & goddesses were born as a result.

Amaterasu adopted the boys as her sons & gave the girls to Susanoo. The girls Susanoo were given were later known as the 3 Munakata goddesses. Susanoo declared that he’d won the trial. He raged with victory by destroying Amaterasu’s rice paddies, defiling her sacred palace, & flung a flayed piebald (spotted/blotched, especially black & white) horse (which was flayed alive) into her weaving hall. This alarmed 1 of her weaving maidens, striking her genitals against a weaving shuttle, killing her.

Amaterasu, furious, shut herself into the Amano-Iwato (Heavenly Rock Cave) & sealed the entrance with a massive boulder. This plunged Heaven & Earth into total darkness. Because she was the sun. Evil spirits overrun the world, & chaos reigned.

After Amaterasu hid herself in the cave, the kami gods (led by Omoikane, the god of wisdom) conceived a plan to lure her out. Because they realize that force wouldn’t work against the sun. They forged the Yata no Kagami (an 8-sided bronze mirror) & strung exquisite magatama jewels on a tree outside the cave entrance.

The goddess of mirth, Ame-no-Uzume, overturned a wooden tub, stepped onto it, & performed an intentionally wild, ecstatic, & revealing dance. Inside the cave, Amaterasu is surprised that the gods should show such mirth in her absence. Ame-no-Uzume answered that they were celebrating, slid the boulder blocking the cave’s entrance & peeked out.

Because they had found a deity even more beautiful & radiant than she. At which Ame-no-Koyane & Futodama brought out the mirror (the Yata-no-Kagami) & held it before her. As Amaterasu stepped out to look further. The gods held up the bronze mirror. Ame-no-Tajikarao took her hand & pulled her out of the cave.

The cave was then immediately sealed with a straw rope, preventing her from going back inside. But she was so captivated by her own glorious reflection. Thus, light was restored to the world. As punishment for his outrageous behavior, Susanoo was driven out of Takamagahara by the other gods.

Going down to earth, he arrived at the land of Izumo, where he killed the monstrous serpent Yamata no Orochi to rescue the goddess Kushinadahime, whom he eventually married. From the serpent’s carcass, Susanoo found the sword Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (‘Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven’). Also known as Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (‘Grass-Cutting Sword’), which he presented to Amaterasu as a reconciliatory gift.

According to tradition, she sent her grandson, Ninigi-no-Mikoto, down to pacify Japan. He brought with him 3 sacred items, the Imperial Regalia of Japan:

• Yata no Kagami, the mirror. This represents wisdom & truth.
• Yasakani no Magatama, the jewels. This represents benevolence.
• Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the sword. This represents benevolence.

Traditionally, Ninigi’s great-grandson, Emperor Jimmu, became the 1st Emperor of Japan in 660 BCE. To this day, the Japanese imperial family traces an unbroken line of divine descent back to Amaterasu.

Amaterasu is enshrined at the Ise Grand Shrine (Ise Jingu) in Mie Prefecture. This is the most sacred site in Shintoism. In a unique tradition, the main shrine structures are entirely dismantled & rebuilt exactly from scratch every 20 years using ancient joinery techniques.

She’s a virgin goddess & never engages in adult spicy time.

Her son, Ameno Hohi, is considered the ancestral kami of clans in Izumo, which includes the Hoyi clan, Sugawara clan, & the Senge clan. The legendary sumo wrestler Nomi no Sukum is believed to be a 14th-generation descendant of Amanohohi.

She’s sometimes worshipped as having connections with other aspects & forms of nature. She can be considered a goddess of the wind & typhoons alongside her brother. She’s seen as the reason for the day/night cycles. She either made the Japanese archipelago/islands from drops of water that fell from her spear, or she painted Japan into being, alongside her siblings, Susanoo & Tsukuyomi.

She’s also the main character of the video game Okami (2006). In this game, players control Amaterasu, who takes the form of a majestic white wolf, to lift a curse & restore nature using a magical paintbrush.

The Nausea: A Page of Madness + Ritual Purification / Recontre Martineau et Singh - Artist Talk

La Sala Rossa, Tuesday, June 24 at 07:00 PM EDT

La Sala Rossa
Portes: 19h
Spectacle: 19h30
20/25 $
avec Initial Shock, MUFF (Le Festival de films underground de Montréal) & la lumière collective

Tickets: https://tickets.venuepilot.com/e/123046

Plongez dans la brillance troublante du chef-d'œuvre cinématographique muet de Teinosuke Kinugasa, "Une Page Folle" (Kurutta Ippêji, 70 minutes), datant de 1926. Cette œuvre révolutionnaire, coécrite par le lauréat du prix Nobel Yasunari Kawabata, transcende la narration conventionnelle pour explorer le psychisme fracturé des individus enfermés dans un asile. Kinugasa, ancien interprète féminin de kabuki, utilise un éventail désorientant de techniques d'avant-garde et expressionnistes, du montage rapide et des perspectives déformées aux séquences oniriques et aux angles de caméra subjectifs, pour plonger le public directement dans la tourmente intérieure des personnages. Le portrait brut et empathique de la détresse mentale, associé à son langage visuel innovant, reste une expérience puissante et troublante.

Le projet d'Anju Singh, The Nausea, fournira une partition live multi-instrumentale, amplifiant l'intensité émotionnelle du film. Percussions, cordes et électronique tisseront une tapisserie sonore, reflétant les dissonances et les nuances du film, et entraînant le public plus profondément dans son paysage psychologique.

La soirée débutera avec RITUAL PURIFICATION (Jarrett Martineau), un artiste autochtone de noise et de drone. S'inspirant des traditions nêhiyaw et denesuline, Martineau crée des paysages sonores ambiants et rituels, mêlant enregistrements de terrain et textures électroniques. Sa performance prépare le terrain pour le voyage intense du film, préparant le public à l'expérience immersive et chargée d'émotion qui suivra.

Cet événement offre une occasion rare de découvrir un jalon cinématographique à travers une lentille sonore contemporaine. Préparez-vous à une nuit de profonde résonance émotionnelle et de son immersif. Après le film et la performance, rejoignez Anju Singh et Jarrett Martineau pour une discussion d'artistes, où ils discuteront de leurs processus créatifs et de l'intersection de leur travail avec la vision cinématographique de Kinugasa.

Delve into the unsettling brilliance of Teinosuke Kinugasa's 1926 silent film masterpiece, "A Page of Madness" (Kurutta Ippêji, 70 minutes). This groundbreaking work, co-written by Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata, transcends conventional narrative to explore the fractured psyche of individuals confined within an asylum. Kinugasa, a former kabuki female impersonator, employs a disorienting array of avant-garde and Expressionist techniques, from rapid montage and distorted perspectives to dreamlike sequences and subjective camera angles, to plunge the audience directly into the characters' inner turmoil. The film's raw, empathetic portrayal of mental distress, coupled with its innovative visual language, remains a powerful and unsettling experience.

Anju Singh's project, The Nausea, will provide a live, multi-instrumental score, amplifying the film's emotional intensity. Percussion, strings, and electronics will weave a sonic tapestry, mirroring the film's dissonances and nuances, and drawing the audience deeper into its psychological landscape.

The evening begins with RITUAL PURIFICATION (Jarrett Martineau), an Indigenous noise and drone artist. Drawing from nêhiyaw and Denesuline traditions, Martineau creates ambient, ritualistic soundscapes, blending field recordings and electronic textures. His performance sets the stage for the film's intense journey, preparing the audience for the immersive and emotionally charged experience that follows.

This event offers a rare opportunity to witness a cinematic landmark through a contemporary sonic lens. Prepare for a night of profound emotional resonance and immersive sound. Following the film and performance, join Anju Singh and Jarrett Martineau for an artist talk, where they will discuss their creative processes and the intersection of their work with Kinugasa's cinematic vision.

Plongez dans la brillance troublante du chef-d'œuvre cinématographique muet de Teinosuke Kinugasa, "Une Page Folle" (Kurutta Ippêji, 70 minutes), datant de 1926. Cette œuvre révolutionnaire, coécrite par le lauréat du prix Nobel Yasunari Kawabata, transcende la narration conventionnelle pour explorer le psychisme fracturé des individus enfermés dans un asile. Kinugasa, ancien interprète féminin de kabuki, utilise un éventail désorientant de techniques d'avant-garde et expressionnistes, du montage rapide et des perspectives déformées aux séquences oniriques et aux angles de caméra subjectifs, pour plonger le public directement dans la tourmente intérieure des personnages. Le portrait brut et empathique de la détresse mentale, associé à son langage visuel innovant, reste une expérience puissante et troublante.

Le projet d'Anju Singh, The Nausea, fournira une partition live multi-instrumentale, amplifiant l'intensité émotionnelle du film. Percussions, cordes et électronique tisseront une tapisserie sonore, reflétant les dissonances et les nuances du film, et entraînant le public plus profondément dans son paysage psychologique.

La soirée débutera avec RITUAL PURIFICATION (Jarrett Martineau), un artiste autochtone de noise et de drone. S'inspirant des traditions nêhiyaw et denesuline, Martineau crée des paysages sonores ambiants et rituels, mêlant enregistrements de terrain et textures électroniques. Sa performance prépare le terrain pour le voyage intense du film, préparant le public à l'expérience immersive et chargée d'émotion qui suivra.

Cet événement offre une occasion rare de découvrir un jalon cinématographique à travers une lentille sonore contemporaine. Préparez-vous à une nuit de profonde résonance émotionnelle et de son immersif. Après le film et la performance, rejoignez Anju Singh et Jarrett Martineau pour une discussion d'artistes, où ils discuteront de leurs processus créatifs et de l'intersection de leur travail avec la vision cinématographique de Kinugasa.

Delve into the unsettling brilliance of Teinosuke Kinugasa's 1926 silent film masterpiece, "A Page of Madness" (Kurutta Ippêji, 70 minutes). This groundbreaking work, co-written by Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata, transcends conventional narrative to explore the fractured psyche of individuals confined within an asylum. Kinugasa, a former kabuki female impersonator, employs a disorienting array of avant-garde and Expressionist techniques, from rapid montage and distorted perspectives to dreamlike sequences and subjective camera angles, to plunge the audience directly into the characters' inner turmoil. The film's raw, empathetic portrayal of mental distress, coupled with its innovative visual language, remains a powerful and unsettling experience.

Anju Singh's project, The Nausea, will provide a live, multi-instrumental score, amplifying the film's emotional intensity. Percussion, strings, and electronics will weave a sonic tapestry, mirroring the film's dissonances and nuances, and drawing the audience deeper into its psychological landscape.

The evening begins with RITUAL PURIFICATION (Jarrett Martineau), an Indigenous noise and drone artist. Drawing from nêhiyaw and Denesuline traditions, Martineau creates ambient, ritualistic soundscapes, blending field recordings and electronic textures. His performance sets the stage for the film's intense journey, preparing the audience for the immersive and emotionally charged experience that follows.

This event offers a rare opportunity to witness a cinematic landmark through a contemporary sonic lens. Prepare for a night of profound emotional resonance and immersive sound. Following the film and performance, join Anju Singh and Jarrett Martineau for an artist talk, where they will discuss their creative processes and the intersection of their work with Kinugasa's cinematic vision.
