, Japanese Legend.

After many years, Ninigi divided his kingdom between two of his sons.

I come to meet Ninigi that I may pay homage to him and be his guide.

Ninigi took to wife the daughter of a terrestrial deity, and by her had two sons, Hosuseri and Hikohohodemi.

The terrestrial deity, Sarudahiko, receiving news of the approach of Ninigi and his divine retinue, came out to greet him.

Uzume obeyed the commands of Ninigi, and is greatly honoured in Saruta for her courage, her mirth, and her beauty.
