EDITORS COMMENTS
Futen, the Japanese God of the Winds: A Mystical Figure in Japan's Meteorological History This image depicts Futen, the revered Japanese deity of the winds, holding a sack brimming with the unpredictable forces of nature. Futen is a central figure in Japanese mythology, believed to bring both the harsh winter storms and the gentle spring zephyrs. His influence on Japan's climate has been a subject of fascination and reverence for centuries. The Meteorological Office in Japan, an institution responsible for monitoring and forecasting weather patterns, holds a unique connection to Futen. As the gods of ancient Japan were thought to control the elements, the Meteorological Office's role in predicting the weather can be traced back to these spiritual beliefs. Futen's image is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Japan's religious past. The god is often depicted as a robust, bearded man with a mischievous smile, wearing a headdress adorned with feathers. In this photograph, Futen's eyes are closed, as if deep in thought, pondering which weather pattern he will release next from his sack. The sack itself is a symbol of Futen's power and control over the winds. Its intricate design, with intricate patterns and delicate embroidery, adds to the mystical allure of this deity. The sack's contents are a mystery, but the anticipation of what lies within is a reminder of the ever-changing nature of the weather and the power of the gods. This photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into Japan's rich history and the enduring influence of its religious beliefs on modern life. The image of Futen, the God of the Winds, is a testament to the power of nature and the human fascination with the unknown.
