Divine Wind
A planet colonized and mostly inhabited by Japanese people, with a large amount of tourists. It was one of humanity's first colonies and has a high influence in Starways Congress. Peter Wiggin and Wang-mu came here in Children of the Mind as part of their mission to "find the center of power among humankind" and to "persuade them to stop the fleet before it needlessly destroys a world ". Divine Wind is the English translation of the Japanese term Shimpū Tokkōtai, more commonly known as Kamikaze.

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or wind:
“Let us have compassion for those under chastisement. Alas, who are we ourselves? Who am I and who are you? Whence do we come and is it quite certain that we did nothing before we were born? This earth is not without some resemblance to a gaol. Who knows but that man is a victim of divine justice? Look closely at life. It is so constituted that one senses punishment everywhere.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
