who gave this tengu a sword

Location: Tokyo


I like these mythological creatures in Japanese lore. They're complex in a animism way in that they're not exactly benevolent but they're not straight-up demons. It's always a matter of nuance in this country. I always like how they're right there among the visitors and not locked away behind glass, which is not a given these days.
