Hisajo liked the area and even climbed to the peak of the mountain.

They are a kind of clay bell (Hikosan dorei 英彦山土鈴), said to be the oldest ones used by the Shugendo ascetics.


Some even had a Tengu goblin mask on the bell.


There are three famous HIKO mountains 彦山 in Japan:

Formerly "Hiko" was written with the characters 日子, meaning "child of the sun"; in the first half of the ninth century, during the reign of the Emperor Saga, it was changed to the single character 彦, and then again to 英彦, its present designation, in 1729, at the order of the Retired Emperor Reigen. According to the Kamakura-period Hikosan ruki, the Gongen of the Three Places of Mt Hiko (Hikosan sansho gongen) was composed of Mt Zokutai in the south (Shaka), Mt Hottai in the north (Amida) and Mt Nyotai in the center (Thousand-armed Kannon).

彦山豊前坊はどこからやって来た?
豊前国の田川郡(福岡県)と中津市(大分県)の境にある英彦山(ひこさん/古くは彦山)は古代からの霊山(神体山)で、熊野の大峰山、出羽の羽黒山とともに「日本三大修験山」に数えられます。
ご祭神の天忍穂耳命がアマテラスの息子であることから、「アマテラス=日(太陽)」の「子」で「日子(ひこ)山」と呼ばれ、それが彦山、英彦山となったということです。

「日の子と天狗の山・英彦山」
修験道と天狗の山、英彦山。新潟県の弥彦山、兵庫県の雪彦山とともに「日本三彦山」に数えられています。日の子である神をまつっていたので「日子山」。それがヒコサンになり彦山に。さらに江
戸時代天皇から「英」尊号を受けて英彦山になりました。ここには日本を代表する天狗、豊前坊もいます。

The Momoyama period daimyo 大名 Kobayakawa Takakage 小早川隆景 (1532-90)
supposedly held dialogues with the tengu king Buzenbou 豊前坊 (Buzenbo) on Mt. Hiko 彦.
The Tengu of Mout Hiko appears out of the mist to enlighten the swordsman Kobayakawa Takakage, in this print by Yoshitoshi.

小早川隆景彦山ノ天狗問答之図


Says Goodin:
“What I found most interesting was that the scene was shown from the tengu's perspective, that is, from his side of the mist. Through breaks in the mist, Kobayakawa can be seen sitting composed ready to receive the tengu's message while his men recoil in fear.”

Kobayakawa Takakage 小早川 隆景 (1533 – July 26, 1597)
a samurai retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi during Japan's Sengoku period, and the son of Mōri Motonari. Adopted by the head of the Kobayakawa clan, Takakage took his name, and succeeded his adoptive father to become head of the Kobayakawa clan following his death in 1545.
As head of the Kobayakawa clan, he expanded the clan's territory in the Chūgoku region (western Honshū), and fought for the Mōri clan in all their campaigns; for a time, he also opposed both the great warlords Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He later swore loyalty to Hideyoshi, however, and entered his service; he was then awarded domains in Iyo Province on Shikoku and Chikuzen Province on Kyūshū, totalling 350,000 koku.
Takakage took part in Hideyoshi's invasions of Shikoku, Kyūshū, and Korea, and adopted Kobayakawa Hideaki, formerly an adopted son of Hideyoshi, and named him successor to the clan.
