Amaterasu is the Shinto Sun Goddess - basically the equivalent of Jesus to Christians. Her name literally means "(that which) illuminates Heaven"

The backdrop was painted by me and the kimono designed by me; stitch work by Kyoko, the model. The Japanese flag is actually only the red circle, the one with the rays as depicted here is the military rising sun flag.

I like how the sunbeams abruptly end. it's like revealing that this is only a set- up, unlike all these clean mao- portraits and such.

Maybe it can be spelled both ways, not sure.

Thanks. I know what you mean about the Japan/China thing, but that's not what this is about. I'll have to do a Chinese fairy-tale some day, I prefer the Chinese culture anyway...

She is indeed a goddess. All of the elements in this are balanced really well. Great photo.
