疾風怒濤
Shippuu doutou (疾風怒濤) is a Japanese four-character idiom, or yojijukugo, that literally means "swift wind, furious waves." It describes a period of intense, turbulent change — a time of passionate energy and rapid transformation. The phrase originated as a Meiji-era translation of the German term Sturm und Drang, the 18th-century proto-Romantic movement led by Goethe and Schiller. It is used today in Japanese to describe historical eras or personal phases marked by emotional and social storm.
