In Japanese mythology, the god of storms and winds is Raijin. Raijin is often depicted as a fierce deity who can summon thunder, lightning, and storms, embodying the chaotic and destructive aspects of nature. He is frequently illustrated with drums, which he uses to create thunder sounds, and is sometimes accompanied by his counterpart, Fujin, the god of wind. Together, they represent the powerful forces of nature in Japanese culture, highlighting humanity’s respect for and fear of atmospheric phenomena and their critical impact on agriculture and daily life.
