Description:
"Dainippon Shi Ryaku Zue" (Abbreviated Picture of Japanese History) Scene of dancing party in front of the hiding place of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu. The goddess heard all the noise in front of her hiding cave. She became curious and peeked out what was going on. When the light shines through the cave door, the gods and the people could remove the door and persuade the goddess to come out to shine the world again.
