This version follows the core account in Wakan Sansai Zue, depicting Amanozako as a ferocious demon-deity born from turbulent qi. Her appearance blends human and beast, with a high nose, long ears, and powerful fangs. Her temper is ever contrary, shunning proper procedure and delighting in reversals. She is said to wield overwhelming spiritual force, boasting the strength and presence to hurl even mighty gods afar. While conceptually akin to the Amanojaku, her lineage is unsettled, and claims that she is progenitor of the Tengu are limited. The note that she is mother of Tenma-no-O is confined to the Zue citation, with little broad support in oral tradition. Here the focus remains on her classical traits as a demon-deity—contrary speech, contrary action, and ferocious might—kept within the bounds of early-modern images and texts.
