Japan is the path of typhoons.
When typhoons reach their peak strength, they weaken and move on, eventually changing their name as tropical cyclones.
The word “kamikaze” refers to a typhoon that is said to have saved Japan during the Mongol invasion in the 13th century. People called this typhoon “kamikaze,” and the idea that Japan was a country protected by the gods became widespread.
Kamikaze is written in Japanese as the wind of God (神風).
In the Japanese historical and military context, ‘kamikaze’ refers to suicide attacks by suicide squads, but in modern times it can also refer to acts of terrorism or recklessness.
The meaning of the word is mutated.
I went ahead to where the typhoon would change into a tropical cyclone.
The beautiful horses I met there.
Japan has dedicated horses to the gods, not only in mythology.
This is a study of the mutation of words and landscapes.
