Tengu

Unusual set bearing the design of the famous mythical figure the Tengu. Tengu according to Mythologu.net is "he most human of the Tengus add to their human look by wearing clothing and carrying tools. They particularly like to mimic Buddhist priests and monks, especially from the yamabushi sect. They can be found parading themselves around in the yamabushi’s light yellow or deep orange tunics, complete with tokins, a small black cap worn on the forehead, and yuigesas, a vest of six brightly colored pom-poms, which symbolize the six Buddhist virtues. They may also carry a shakujo staff, like powerful Buddhist priests do, and a ha-uchiwa fan, which they use to control the wind."

Made of deep dark shakudo with mixed metals for the accents. Very nice condition.
