An Antique Japanese Okame Ojime netsuke Ojime netsuke
Netsuke in a form of Ojime presenting Ushi-oni.
Okame is said to derive from the Shinto deity, Ama no uzume, the goddess of mirth and good humor. According to a Japanese legend, the sun goddess, Amaterasu omikami, once hid in a cave, thereby plunging the world into darkness. The gods tried in vain to lure her out and finally Ama no uzume performed such a sexually provocative dance that the assembled deities burst into raucous laughter. This aroused the curiosity of Amaterasu, who then came out of the cave, thus restoring daylight to the world.
