A wind divinity anchored to Mount Tado, once feared as a one-eyed dragon god. Ideas of “divine wind” recorded in Edo-period sources intersected with local weather watching, leading sailors on the Ise Bay route and coastal villages to revere it deeply. Later it blended in folk belief with the smithing deity Ame-no-Mahitotsu-no-Kami, and shrines preserved doorless architecture so the god’s passage would not be hindered. It governs storms and rain, is invoked for bringing and stopping rain and for protection from maritime disasters, yet tales also stress its aramitama, a wild and fearsome aspect. Iconography varies: sometimes a dragon body, sometimes a one-eyed deity, but details remain uncertain.
