The sun goddess Amaterasu is one of the most important deities in the traditional Japanese Folk Religion of Shintoism. The Japanese monarchy claims to trace their lineage back to her and therefore their divine right to rule. The Japanese art of rope bondage, known as kinbaku or shibari, is a style of decorative bondage that has roots as far back as the late Edo period. Gods are manifestations of the mind’s hypersensitive desire to detect agency behind natural events. However, just like the sun, everything is bound by nature, moving in paths determined not by conscious choices of gods, but by laws woven into the fabric of the universe.
