Answer:

Japan is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The name is derived from Japanese and means divine wind. It refers to the two storms that saved Japan from Mongol fleets under Kublai Khan. The mongols attacked japan in 2274 and 1281. As the Zen Buddhism was spreading among the samurais, the typhoons were described as divine wind due to their force and timings. According to myths God Raijin turned the storms against the mongols. Kamikaze was also used to refer the attacks by Japanese pilots during second world war.
