Weather · Japanese · Raijin, Fujin, Amaterasu
A specific draw
Frozen card, same seed, same composition. Kami of wind and rain, Raijin with his ring of drums, Fujin with his bag of winds, Amaterasu deciding each morning to come out of the cave.

Tsukuyomi
Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, moon-kami of the pale overcast night
At Ise the crowds walk gravel roads to the sun-goddess, thousands a day, and a short way off, in the cedar shade, stands Tsukuyomi's own shrine, small, plain, mostly quiet. He is worshipped the way overcast light falls, without spectacle, by the few who go out of their way. The priests tend his house as carefully as hers, the offerings are made, the roof is kept, no one is turned away and no one queues. A grey day has that same dignity, unphotographed, fully real. If your work feels like the quiet shrine today, tended and unvisited, it is still holy ground, the moon-god has kept that kind of house for a long time.
An overcast noon is the moon-brother's hour on loan, good work gets done today without applause, do it anyway.
