What is TENGU ?
Tengu is a kind of a goblin or a phantom, which is a legendary creature of Japanese folk religion(story).It’s said that generally it has a red face and a long nose and wearing Yamabushi’s costume. With his supernatural power, he can fly freely high up in the sky using with his wings. He lives in a high and secluded mountain. His hand has a feather fan that could make strong gale winds, and he is wearing “Ipponba Geta” it’s one toothed(spike) geta and commonly it is feared because it leads people to the evil ways.
