Anemi

Anemi (姐光様), also known as Shakō is a principal deity of Taido and a member of the Sanmiittai (三位一体, lit. 'trinity'). She often represents creation, largely through her intertwining virtues of 'purity' and 'imagination'. In the tradition of Taido called Mikoism, the Goddess, or Anemi, is described as supreme, yet is still revered alongside Hishanto, Kimito and Senyo. In traditional Taido she is one of the four equivalent deities who make up the 'major' caste of tama

Anemi is often represented as a young woman or child with long black hair, though in Mikoist art is almost always depicted as a young woman. In the apocalyptic text Motsugyo she is described as an 'elderly crone', reflecting her ageing with the universe as the primal Kon (魂, lit. 'soul, self'), her source of energy for creation, begins to fade.
