Kamikaze (typhoon) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kamikaze (typhoon)
The Kamikaze (神風, Japanese for ''divine wind''), were two winds or storms that are said to have saved Japan from two Mongol fleets under Kublai Khan. These fleets attacked Japan in 1274 and again in 1281. Due to growth of Zen Buddhism among Samurai at the time, these were the first events where the typhoons were described as "divine wind" as much by their timing as by their force. Since Man'yōshū, the word ''kamikaze'' has been used as a ''Makurakotoba'' of waka introducing Ise Grand Shrine. ==History==
The latter fleet, composed of "more than four thousand ships bearing nearly 140,000 men"〔McClain 2002. p. 17.〕 is said to have been the largest attempted naval invasion in history whose scale was only recently eclipsed in modern times by the D-Day invasion of allied forces into Normandy in 1944.
