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
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.
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.
