"Fujin and Raijin" The Gods of Wind and Thunder

Fujin and Raijin are the most feared and respected of all Japanese deities. These two gods are the masters of wind and thunder and always seen together in works of art.

Wood and stone sculptures of Fujin and Raijin are found at the gates of Japanese shrines and temples as protectors.

Visitors to these sacred places must pass by the intimidating gaze of the gods before entering!

At Pagong Kyoto, our artisans have implemented the technique of Kyoto-Yuzen, to bring to life the delightful spirit and tradition of Fujin and Raijin-the powerful Gods of Wind and Thunder.
