Fujin: Japanese god of the wind



Fujin is the Japanese god of the wind and one of the eldest Shinto gods. He was present at the creation of the world and when he first let the winds out of his bag, they cleared the morning mists and filled the Gate between heaven and earth so the sun shone.



He is portrayed as a terrifying dark demon wearing a leopard skin, carrying a large bag of winds on his shoulders.



A legend of Chinese Buddhism states that Fujin and Raijin, the god of thunder, were both originally evil demons who opposed Buddha. They were captured in battle with Buddha's army of heaven, and have worked as gods since then.

i don't see how any of what you said has to do with this design. i first i thought she was farting and blowing all the petals off the tree lol but then i realized he was lifting up her dress with chopsticks. which i get the joke but it's not very well communicated here. and the "wind god" isn't portrayed anything like your long description which i thought would have made a much more interesting design

a lot of the shinto gods were rascals---that's what makes them so much more interesting than any western gods... Love it, made it me laugh.

i'm just confused by the direction the wind is blowing... if it's coming from the right, wouldn't the tree and flowers blow toward the left? if that's the case, the dress can still be blown up, but we'd probably see more of her bum

It might work better with the image reversed as westerners tend to read things left to right - that's why people are seeing the wind coming out of her bottom hole. Still, nice job!
