is the name of a deified Japanese, who is said to have arrived about 1653 in Japan, whither his zeal for the religion of Siaka had led him. He was at first regarded by the Japanese only as a saint, but at a season of an excessive drought they came to him and besought his prayers (kitu) to avert the judgment of heaven; and the rain descending in mighty torrents shortly after the offering tip of Ingen's prayer, the people thought him no longer earthly, and deified him. Kaempfer, Hist. Japan, Append.; Broughton, Bibliotheca Hist. Sac. 1, 533.
