Tsukiyomi is the moon god born from a tear from the right
eye of creator god Izanagi. His name is also spelt Tsukuyomi. His siblings are
the deities Amaterasu and Susanowo.
He once made a visit uninvited to see the goddess Uke Mochi,
whom had no food to serve. When Uke Mochi had fish, forest game and a bowl of
rice came out of her body Tsukiyomi was disgusted and killed the goddess. This
angered Amaterasu and refused to ever look at Tsukiyomi again, leaving day and
night separate.
