Draft:Sarume clan
The Sarume clan is a Japanese clan[1]. Together, Ame-no-Uzume and Sarutahiko Ōkami founded the Sarume clan.[2][3][4]
They are said to have interbred with the Wani clan[5]
The Wani clan is believed to be related to Wani dragons, with Naniwa-neko Takefurukuma described as an ancestor. Marrying women of the Wani clan was believed to give the Emperor control over the sea.[6]: 149-150 They had a similar religious role to the Sarume clan as mediums, so many women of the Sarume clan had husbands of the Wani clan perform ritual roles as substitutes for men of the Sarume clan.[6]: 168
Uzume and Sarutahiko[edit]
Amaterasu orders Uzume to accompany her grandson Ninigi on his journey to earth. They head to Ame-no-ukihashi ("floating bridge of heaven") so they could head to earth but they are blocked by Sarutahiko. Uzume comes and persuades Sarutahiko to let Ninigi pass, in other versions of the story Uzume flirts with Sarutahiko.
Later, Uzume and Sarutahiko fall in love and get married. Together, they found the Sarume clan.[2][3][4]
Worship[edit]
Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto is still worshiped today as a Shinto kami, spirits indigenous to Japan.[7]
There are many shrines dedicated to the goddess including Chiyo shrine, Tsubaki America Shrine and Tsubaki Grand Shrine.[8][9]
