Literary references The Oroshi wind is mentioned in Japanese poetry, including a poem which is included in the Hyakunin Isshu.Mostow, Joshua S. (1996).

Many versions of this poem which were published during the Edo period have yama-oroshi instead of yama-oroshi yo, but the meaning is equivalent: the poet cries out to the wind; and he compares the cold down-draft to the heartless woman.Mostow,

Oroshi is also a character in "La Horde du Contre-vent", an adventure book written by Alain Damasio, a French writer. In this story, Oroshi is the name of a wind mistress, she can read the wind as it is paper.
