Great Tengu

Great Tengu was the title given to the tengu in charge of the court of Chikushō-dō‎ and Sakkaku, though that office had sometimes passed to an animaf spirit of some other species. Chikushō-dō's oral tradition maintained that one of these Great Tengu, who renounced his name and identified himself simply as "the High Shinseist Priest," learned the Tao of Shinsei personally from Shinsei and Shiba so he could bring Enlightenment to animals. Sakkaku, on the other hand, maintained he did so as an elaborate joke that Chikushō-dō‎ haf yet to comprehend.
