After abandoning the secular world and wandering through various provinces, Shoku Shonin entered Mount Shosha in Harima Province in 966 (the 3rd year of Kobo), built a thatched hut, and laid the foundation for Engyoji Temple^[1], which would later become the 27th of the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage's 33 temples. Temple tradition says that it was the two youths, Ototen and Wakaten, who supported his grueling ascetic practices in the mountains. Since the Middle Ages, they have been deeply worshipped as attendants whose presence proved the holy man's high virtue. The two youths are said to have the original Buddhist essences of Fudo Myoo and Bishamonten^[1], placing them in the lineage of *Goho-doji* statues like Kongara and Seitaka, the attendants of Fudo Myoo. Next to the Kaisando (Founder's Hall or Okunoin) of Engyoji Temple stand the Ototen Shrine and Wakaten Shrine of the Goho-do^[1], Kasuga-style shrine buildings said to have been built in 1559 (the 2nd year of Eiroku). Both are designated Important Cultural Properties and enshrine the *Goho-doji* to this day. The widespread worship of *Goho-doji* was rooted in the religious worldview of medieval Japan—specifically, the mindset of mountain Buddhism, which held that subjugating and commanding fierce deities was proof of spiritual power. Ototen and Wakaten of Mount Shosha have been passed down as representative examples of this in Harima, alongside the miraculous tales from the biography of Shoku Shonin.
