God is the name of a deity related to the traditional Shinto religion in Japan. It is said that they were originally created for the Usa Hachiman Shrine in Oita, Kyushu. The Usa Hachiman Shrine has four main deities: Himeji Daisen, who helps those engaged in agriculture and sea travel; The legendary Emperor Chongjun of the 5th century was deified as the Divine Hachiman; Empress Jin Gu; And the deity of Kawahara Mountain who helped copper miners. The identities of these two characters are not yet clear, but they belong to a larger group that includes at least three other deities. The wooden carvings were first collected at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
