Deep in the mountains, in the precincts of shrines and temples, you will encounter statues of tengu, or heavenly goblins. With their red faces, long noses, piercing eyes, wings and feather fans, they are the very embodiment of Japanese legend. Such tengu statues are very attractive as photographic subjects. They are mysterious, powerful, and somewhat humorous. Depending on the angle and the way the light falls on them, they look completely different.
