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.

the lore
Who holds this sky
The same weather, read the old way: the Japanese deity who holds it, their story, and an omen to carry.

Tsukuyomi
Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, moon-kami of the pale overcast night
Tsukuyomi no Mikoto was born from the right eye of Izanagi, the moon to his sister Amaterasu's sun, and for a time the two ruled the heavens side by side. Sent by Amaterasu to attend the food-goddess Ukemochi, he was so disgusted to see her produce the feast from her own mouth and body that he drew his sword and killed her. When Amaterasu learned of it she turned her face away from him forever, and so the sun and moon are parted across the sky, day and night never meeting. On overcast days he draws thin grey veils across the world, a muted half-light that is neither his sister's blaze nor true dark. Cloud cover is the colour of his long exile, soft, patient, and quietly shared with everyone below.
If the day never brightens, take the moon-god's shift, tend the quiet task nobody will see and count it counted.
A sample sky — set your city above to draw the deity who holds the real weather over you.
How this works
With live weather on, the card reads the actual sky above you and surfaces the japanese deity who holds that weather, each with their own painting and myth. The real readings sit in their own section above.
