Susanoo, Shinto God of the Sea and Storms

Entitled: "Susano no mikoto"; shows Susanoo no Mikoto standing on the edge of a cliff, pointing toward the sea, with a woman on the cliff just above his right shoulder. Susanoo is the Shinto god of the sea and storms. He is also considered to be ruler of Neno-Katasu-Kuni (now in Yasugi-shi, Shimane-ken). He is married to Kushinadahime. In Japanese mythology, Susanoo, the powerful storm god of Summer, is the brother of Amaterasu, the goddess of the Sun, and of Tsukuyomi, the god of the Moon. All three were born from Izanagi, when he washed his face clean of the pollutants of Yomi, the underworld. Amaterasu was born when Izanagi washed out his left eye, Tsukuyomi was born from the washing of the right eye, and Susanoo from the washing of the nose. Susanoo used Totsuka-no-Tsurugi as his weapon. Woodcut by Yoshitoshi Taiso, circa 1880s.
