Japanese Thunder God is often pictured as a tengu, as in this boxwood carving
where he is seen with a human form, bird beak and wings. A tengu’s beak may be
lined with sharp teeth. Their wings are sometimes shown as beating extremely fast
like those of a hummingbird. Tengu are almost always portrayed in the dress of
mountain hermits, Buddhist monks or priests. Although they can fly, they are generally
able to magically teleport as well. Most importantly they are masters of all the
martial arts, able to defeat a host of enemies with their expert skills. Here
the Thunder God is seen practicing those skills on two foes.
