Description

Hello and welcome!


Tengu -
Are mountain and forest goblins with both Shinto and Buddhist attributes. Their supernatural powers include shape-shifting into human or animal forms, the ability to speak to humans without moving their mouth, the magic of moving instantly from place to place without using their wings, and the sorcery to appear uninvited in the dreams of the living.

The patron of martial arts, the bird-like Tengu is a skilled warrior and mischief maker, especially prone to playing tricks on arrogant and vainglorious Buddhist priests, and to punishing those who willfully misuse knowledge and authority to gain fame or position. In bygone days, they also inflicted their punishments on vain and arrogant samurai warriors. They dislike braggarts, and those who corrupt the Dharma (law).

The picture to the right (0f a Tengu Spirit with an erection) was drawn by Hatsumi, Masaaki - the 34th Grandmaster of the 9 Ryu-ha traditions within Budo-Taijutsu. It was drawn during the "tea time" segment towards the end of one of his classes in Japan.. One of our buyu/dojo family members was given parchment to have a "kanji" symbol drawn on it, when it was his turn, Hatsumi-san asked what he would like drawn, and his reply was "your the master!". The result was the picture at right. He then passed the original artwork onto Sensei Peter, who is still in possession of it to this day.
