As Amaterasu-oomikami, a sun-goddess, hid herself in the cave and withdrew from the presence of the people, Amano-iwato, the world became completely darkness. Of course, it was the trouble with the people both of Takamanohara and Ashihara-no-nakatu-kuni that the sun goddess had disappeared. Her behavior may be represented as a kind of boycott in modern words. The Kojiki said that with her withdrawal every evil deity began to make a disturbance and every suffering happened all over the world covered with dead darkness.
