The Tengu of Shichimenzan Mountain

Posted September 25th, 2009 by Geta-ya

Tengu geta enthusiast Marc recently sent email to us.

“Hello there. I sent you a mail last year about standing on Tengu Geta (link). Since then I
have moved to Japan and married.

Last month I climbed up Shichimenzan Mountain in Minobu and was suprised to find a shrine for Tengu at the first stop. I just had to get a shot of the monster geta they had on display as they blew me away. This is the biggest set of Tengu I have seen.

Please enjoy the photo and feel free to post it on your site if you want to.”

I wrote back and asked if he wore tengu geta for the climb and he replied, “Must admit that I did not climb in tengu but I am considering it for next year. The only issue is we climb in a group of 20 and if I break my ankle then I put a burden on the rest of the group, besides I left my tengu in London :(”
