Tengu misaki 天狗ミサキ Tengu Misaki

A man from an old family once shot at an 大鷲 eagle who was resting on the Tengumatsu 狗松 Tengu Pine.
He thought he had hit the animal, but it spread its wings and flew away.
This hunter developed a high fever in the same night. An exorcist told him that the animal was in fact the Tengu from the nearby Misaki.
The man eventually became crazy and died and his family line came to an end.

tengu 天狗 Tengu and Yatei ヤテイ
At the Misaki Shrine in the village of 落合町栗原余河内 Ochiai there is a Tengu mask as protector deity.
If an evil person or someone with bad intentions or a woman approaches the mask, the Tengu will throw that person down the hill.
On the other hand this Tengu protects the village and begins to "sing" to alert the people when a danger or problem is headed for the village.
