An retelling of an ancient Japanese legend took centre stage in Brussels as part of celebrations marking 160 years of diplomatic and cultural relations between Belgium and Japan.
Held at Brussels historic 15th century Town Hall, Amaterasu is a performance inspired by one of the most important stories in Japanese mythology.
