• "Amaterasu and the Cave". Simply put, after the sun goddess and Top God Amaterasu had a particularly bad fight with her brother, she holed up in a cave feeling sorry for herself and the other deities tried to coax her out using many different methods. The method that finally succeeds varies with the telling but the most common one? Ame-no-Uzume, the goddess of mirth, doing a strip tease. Yes. Really.
