Ameratasu (Japan)
In feudal Japan, worshipers celebrated the return of Ameratasu, the sun goddess, who slept in a cold, remote cave. When the other gods woke her with a loud celebration, she looked out of the cave and saw an image of herself in a mirror.

"[S]he blocked herself in a cave following an argument with Susanoo when he surprised the goddess with a monstrous flayed horse when she was quietly weaving in her palace with her younger sister Waka-hiru-me.

The gods tried all manner of ways to persuade the peeved goddess to leave the cave. On the advice of Omohi-Kane, s were set outside the cave in the hope their crows would make the goddess think that dawn had come."
