After almost a year in Japan, I am now back in the Radiant Metropolis. Here, the circle closes, and the first shrine that I find is one attended by two fierce-looking wolves, the right of which is explicitly depicted as male.
The deity enshrined here is Takemikazuchi, the God of War, Thunder, Swords, Ice, Martial Arts and Earthquake-Control, who puts down Namazu, the giant catfish whose trashing causes earthquakes.
