Haraedo-no-Okami is a Persona in Persona 4 Golden. It is the ultimate Persona of Chie Satonaka.

Profile

Origin

Haraedo-no-Okami, also known as the Four Deities of Haraedo, is a collective name for four kami associated with purification in Shinto: Seoritsuhime, Hayakitsuhime, Ibukidonushi, and Hayasasurahime. The four are named in the Ōharae no Kotoba (Great Purification Liturgy), preserved in the Engishiki, where they carry out successive stages of the purification of sins and impurities. Seoritsuhime carries the impurities from the rapids of rivers into the sea, Hayakitsuhime swallows them at the meeting of the ocean currents, Ibukidonushi blows them toward Ne no Kuni and Soko no Kuni, and Hayasasurahime causes them to wander away and disappear.

The four kami do not appear by these names in the Kojiki or Nihon Shoki, and their identities and origins have therefore been the subject of various interpretations. They have often been associated with the kami produced when Izanagi performed purification after returning from Yomi, although there is no consensus regarding which kami from these texts correspond to the four Haraedo kami. For example, the scholar Motoori Norinaga identified Seoritsuhime, Hayakitsuhime, and Ibukidonushi with Yasomagatsuhi no Kami, Izunome no kami, and Kamunaobi no Kami, respectively.[1]

According to Atlus, Seoritsuhime is also known as Suzuka Gongen, Chie's second Persona.[2] The origin of this identification is uncertain, although Suzuka Gongen is enshrined as Seoritsuhime in the Gion Festival's Suzuka Yama float.[3]

Design

Haraedo-no-Okami is similar in appearance to Suzuka Gongen but with golden armor, possibly inspired by the Gion Festival float depicting her in a golden hat.

Gameplay
