Fujin
Japanese Pantheon
God of wind and air. Depicted as a demon carrying a large bag of winds. Twin to Raijin. Controls gentle breezes and destructive typhoons.
Fujin is among the oldest gods in the Shinto tradition, present at the creation of the world. According to legend, after the primordial chaos was separated into heaven and earth, Fujin released the first winds from his great bag, clearing the morning mists and allowing the sun to shine upon the newly formed land. His origins may trace back even further to ancient Greek-influenced Silk Road mythology.
**Fujin** (also known as Futen) commands the winds of Japan, from the gentlest spring breezes to the devastating typhoons that sweep the island nation. He is one of the oldest elemental kami and serves as the eternal companion to his brother Raijin, the thunder god.
