Masters of the Sacred Mountains
The Eight Great Tengu
The eight supreme Daitengu who preside over the sacred mountains across the provinces. Their names were already listed in the Muromachi-period Noh play "Kurama Tengu," and they stand at the pinnacle of the forty-eight tengu in the Edo-period "Tengu Sutra." Led by the supreme commander Atago Tarobo, their domain extends as far west as Mount Shiramine in Sanuki.
