 - Wind god often seen with his brother Raijin

Brief Bio 

Fūjin, also spelled Fuujin or Fūjin, is the Japanese god of wind, one of the eldest Shinto deities. He is often depicted as a fearsome, demon-like figure with wild hair, green skin, and a large bag of wind on his back. This bag contains the winds he releases to create storms or gentle breezes.  

In Japanese art, the deity is often depicted together with his twin-brother, Raijin, the god of lightning & thunder, and together, along with their brother, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, they are the Shinto gods (Kami) of storms. While his power can be destructive, he is also seen as a necessary part of the natural balance, bringing life-giving rain.
