I have recently finished an introductory book on Shinto, and was wondering if there were special ceremonies for Amaterasu Ōmikami on the Summer Solstice, as that seemed very logical to me. Thank you for mentioning this ritual of sun and sea and Solstice.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, and for taking an interest in Shinto.
I’m very glad this article could connect with what you have been reading.
I will continue sharing the beauty of Shinto and Japanese culture through Spiritual Japan Journal.
My sons gave me a bottle of advocaat for Father's Day!
What wonderful sons you have. I’m sure that says a lot about the kind of father you are. Thank you for sharing such a lovely Father’s Day story.
Today my wife and elder son had lunch together. Later, she told me part of their conversation.
Wife (in cheerleading mode): Your father is a really great guy.
Son: Yes... even considering his weird side.
Haha, what a lovely family. Being loved even with your “weird side” might be the best kind of love.
