Shinto is religion of the Infidel Japanese. It did not save them from Hiroshima, nor will it save them from Islam. Allahu Akbar!

It could be the August grandchild of heaven that came to Japan from his heavenly rock seat. That is a creation story of Shinto, but since Shinto is a grouping (consolidation) of many smaller religious sects, there could be several creation stories. I am not really sure of the Venus connection, although it is likely that Venus (along with every other celestial body in our view) has a spiritual lore or story that explains it's role in the sky.
