History
I, the white fox, speak of the shrine of the Tengu hidden deep within Oshino village. The Tengu, dwelling in mountain seclusion and guiding ascetics, has been revered since ancient times. This land at the foot of Mount Fuji once drew many practitioners of the mountain path. Though the Tengu is said to confound the unwary, it is also known as a wise guide showing the way of spiritual discipline. Those seeking to forge body and spirit make pilgrimage here, asking for the Tengu's mystical guidance.
