2. Konjinis an itinerant kami from Onmyōdō. It is associated with compass directions, and said to change position with the year, lunar month, and season. Konjin's momentary location in space at any given time is considered an unlucky direction, because this Kami is stated to be particularly violent and said to punish through curses. Based on this, a calendar with astronomical and geomantic direction relations was created, which included interdictions (kataimi).
