"Tengu" |
This one of John's VERY rare Tengu marbles, John's take on the Japanese mythical creatures. |
Tengu represent a class of supernatural creatures found in Japanese folklore, art, theater, and literature. |
This one wears the Japanese hat, and has the traditional long nose (green) along with a goatee. |
Angled shot, showing how the nose sticks out from below the brim. |
Here you see the hair flowing out behind the head. |
Looking up underneath the hat, showing more of the 'hair' hanging down. |
Straightup shot, showing a good angle of what the long nose looks like, which is a hallmark feature of all Tengu. |
Looking down from above on the hat. |
I only know of two of these Tengu marbles in existence, the other one being in my collection. |
