Two venerable Shinto deities - Raijin is the god of thunder and lightning, and Fûjin the god of wind. The artistic style is modern, but these are the traditional poses: Raijin with his circle of drums to beat, and Fûjin with the bag with which he somehow creates the wind.

Suwahara gives a vibrant touch to this classic composition - red Mt. Fuji at dawn, as a hawk soars over the sea of clouds.
The hawk is an obvious symbol of strength, but is also associated with good fortune through another piece of wordplay. In Japanese, the same word, tobu, is used both for "leap" and "fly", so the hawk's high flight sounds like a "leap of progress" (to make a gross simplification).
