Oroshi

[1] Oroshi is a strong local wind across the Kanto Plain on the Pacific Ocean side of central Honshu.

[3] The Oroshi wind is mentioned in Japanese poetry, including a poem which is included in the Hyakunin Isshu.

[4] ukarikeru hito wo hatsuse no yama-oroshi yo hageshikare to ha inoranu mono wo — Minamoto no Toshiyori[4] Make that heartless woman, O mountain storm of Hatsuse Temple, crueller still!"

Many versions of this poem which were published during the Edo period have yama-oroshi instead of yama-oroshi yo, but the meaning is equivalent: the poet cries out to the wind; and he compares the cold down-draft to the heartless woman.

[5] Oroshi is also a character in "La Horde du Contre-vent", an adventure book written by Alain Damasio, a French writer.
