Shinto Haikus

Amaterasu Omikami

She shines in the heavens

Radiating her great love

Mother of the Earth

Hachiman

The samurai prays

Asking for strength in battle

Slaughters all his foes

Inari Okami 

He walks down the path

Carrying the rice basket

Red foxes lead on

Susanoo

Brother of the sun

Rampaging across the sea

Banished from Heaven

Yamata no Orochi 

The serpent looks down

Sword impaling his body

Slayed by Susanoo
