Tanuki Scroll XXXVI: 木花之佐久夜毘売
Today I read about 木花之佐久夜毘売「このはなさくやひめ」the goddess of Mt. Fuji (as well as volcanos in general) as well as the princess of blossom and delicate life. Her symbol is the sakura so she is also seen as a symbol of Japanese life in general.
She also marries 瓊瓊杵命「ににぎのみこと」Emperor Jimmu’s great grandfather.

蟠り「わだかまり」ー Cares; ill feeling; reserve
New Meaning
柱 can be used as a counter for gods (as well as Buddhas and nobles) like:

This one gets its own box because it's weird
〆
Found this earlier, it doesn’t even look Japanese, like some guy just slipped it in the kanji-dictionary as a prank. Also has a sibling alt form that looks slightly more Japanese: 乄 (but this is even more uncommon).
Seems that its main usage is as an abbreviation for 締め or 締め切り (〆切).
Still, seeing 〆 instead of 締め just looks kinda weird.
