, 17th century.]] Fujin is the Japan ese god of the Wind and one of the eldest Shinto gods. He was present at the creation of the world and when he first let the winds out of his bag, they cleared the morning mists and filled the space between heaven and earth so the sun shone. He is portrayed as a terrifying dark Demon wearing a Leopard skin, carrying a large bag of winds on his shoulders. A legend of Chinese Buddhism states that Fujin and Raijin , the god of thunder, were both originally evil demons who opposed Buddha. They were captured in battle with Buddha's army of heaven, and have worked as gods since then. ORIGINS |
