3. Big Tengu: Tengu is one of the most famous monsters in Japan. For the Japanese, the existence of Tengu is a terrible thing, which is far from the legendary image of Tengu in China. Tengu's face is big red, his nose is very high, a bit like a gibbon, very tall, wearing a monk's suit and high-toothed clogs, holding a round fan (feather fan) and a hammer in his hand.

Extended data:

The earliest record of the Japanese tengu can be found in The History of Japan, and the tengu is also used as a metaphor for comets and meteors. In Japan, Tengu is also called Tengu because of its appearance. Until the Heian period, the Japanese tengu was still the image described in Shan Hai Jing.

In 634, nine years before Shu Ming's Great Innovation, a meteor crossed the sky from east to west. Every time in troubled times, there must be a different image. A monk said: this is not a meteor, but a dog. This is the earliest record of Tengu in Japan.

Because of their Buddhist nature, these practitioners were prevented from falling into hell, hungry ghosts, Asura and wild animals, but they had no moral heart and could not ascend to heaven, and were finally exiled to the gutter outside the six divisions of Karma Wheel.
