Answer:

Susanowo caused so much trouble that Amaterasu retreated from the world, taking the sun with her.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Japanese myth, Amaterasu is the sun goddess according to the Shinto religion. And it is also through her that the royal family line of the Japanese emperor began.

The central conflict in the myth is when Amaterasu retreated to the caves after her mischievous brother Susanowo who threw a heaven colt to her while she was weaving which led to her pri cking her finger. In her rage, she hid in a cave never to come out. And in doing so, she left the earth devoid of any sunlight, leading to crops withering, and people dying of starvation. She had to be lured out of the cave and return to bring sunlight to the world so that people may live again.
