In the Shinto religion, Amaterasu was the Sun goddess and Tsuki-Yomi was the Moon god; Tsuki-Yomi and Amaterasu are brother and sister.
But once, Amaterasu sent her brother as her representative to the goddess of food, Uke Mochi. To celebrate, the goddess of food offered him a wonderful meal, created from her mouth and nose. Tsuki-Yomi was so disgusted that he killed her. When Amaterasu learned of her brother's misdeed, she was so angry that she did not want to see him anymore. Since then, brother and sister have lived apart, alternating in the sky. That is why the day always follows the night.
In Itachi's Tsukuyomi, the sky becomes dark (as if night) and there is always a-what do you know-a blood red moon, stained with Uke Mochi's life, perhaps?
Amaterasu is the burning fire that Itachi uses-like the sun.
