風気

Compound of 風 (kaza, “wind; a cold”) +‎ 気 (ke, “feeling”).[1][2]

In modern usage, kazake and kazeke are found in free variation. Some Japanese resources list the relatively older kazake reading as the primary,[1][2] some list the kazeke reading as the primary,[3][4] and some list both without apparent prioritization.[5]
