Vincent van Gogh's Core God is Susanoo
Susanoo — The Opener
Vincent van Gogh, who painted the world in strokes like flame. The Core God drawn from his birth date is Susanoo, the raging storm god who breaks through the wall of convention. Here is why — read through the lens of Kamitype.
Susanoo is the raging god who slew the eight-headed serpent and broke a hardened order like a bolt of lightning. "To shatter the old mold and pry open a new age" — that wild creative force was van Gogh the moment he faced the canvas.
Swirling starry skies, cypresses like rising fire, wheatfields where pure colors collide. His brush drove straight through the convention of his day — that a painting should faithfully copy its subject — and hurled onto the surface not the shapes the eye sees but the emotion churning inside. This was not the smoothing of a trend; like the blade that cuts the serpent, he split the established style apart and pried open an unmapped road toward the expressionism that would follow. That is precisely Susanoo's pattern: the one who breaks the stalemate and brings change.
Susanoo has a second face. In the myth he is cast out of the heavens and rides the earth amid the storm — those who run outside convention often press on through the wilderness, unrecognized by their own time. His path, little celebrated in his lifetime, is part of this god's story too. The dazzle of expression that ran ahead of its age reaches us as light only across time. Van Gogh's paintings quietly echo the myth of the raging storm god.
