This Folding screen is one of great national treasure
in Japan made by Tawaraya Sotatsu in early 17th century.

Old Japanese respect this two great god.
People believed they are big and strong.
In Japanese art, the deity is often depicted together with Raijin,
the god of lightning, thunder and storms.

One with bag is Fujin.
Fujin stock wind in there bag.
And one with tiny circle thing is raijin.
This circle thing is drum and when raijin hit drum it will be thunderstorm.
Thats what Japanese believes.

There is many wooden statue in Japan as well.
