Uzume (pronounced oo-zoo-may) is the Shinto goddess happiness and fun. She is called Heaven's Daughter by the Japanese people and her name means "whirling". Also the goddess of health which is derived by drinking the blessed water from her streams.

When the Japanese Sun Goddess "Amaterasu" hid in a cave, making the world barren and covered in darkness, Uzume drew her out by performing a bawdy dance that made fun of shamanic ritual. By exposing her breasts and playing with her genitals, she created an uproar that piqued Amaterasu's curiosity and she came out from her cave thus bringing light and life back to earth.

My Uzume Designer Goddess Necklace is strung with handmade glass silver foil beads, czech glass & sterling silver beads & hook clasp. Colors are various shades of Carribean Blue Tturquoise. Necklace is 28" long plus the 2.75" Uzume pendant.

The necklace includes an Uzume Goddess Pendant, which is handmade glazed ceramic with mother of pearl finish. A handmade glass bead with silver foil makes her head. She is also adorned with sterling silver waist belt.
