The sky has a name
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
His name can be read as moon-counting, tsuku for the moon, yomi for the reading of it, and that was his oldest work, keeping the tally of nights that becomes a month, the months that become a year. Farmers planted by his face and fishermen sailed by it, the whole calendar once hung on one pale watcher. Behind the overcast he is counting still, you do not have to see a keeper of records for the records to be kept. A clouded day is not a lost day, it is a counted one, entered in the ledger same as the bright ones. Whatever you did quietly today, it was seen and it was written.
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.
