Mount Kaba (加波山 Kaba-san) is a [709 m (2,326 ft)] mountain located within the borders of Suigo-Tsukuba Quasi-National Park, Japan.
Mount Kaba is located in the southern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, bordering the cities of Sakuragawa and Ishioka, and north of Mount Tsukuba.
The mountain is granite. There are many stone quarries, in the center of the western part of Kabasan, Sakuragawa city (old town, 真壁町 Makabe). It is nationally known as a center of stone cutting.
At the summit of the mountain, there is the Haiden of Kaba Shrine; a Shinto shrine.

The area was used by Shugendo priests in a mixture of Shinto and Buddhist lore, including the Tengu, which were very much alive on this mountain.
The locals are fond of their 岩切神 "Stone Cutting Deity".
The faces of these Tengu in the Shrine are square.

Iwakiri Okami was the strongest among the Tengu living there. He could split a rocky mountain range with a stomp of his foot.
At Mount Tsubamedake (燕山 Enzan) there is a sanctuary in his honor - 天狗祠.
People often bring salt as an offering and hope to get healed from diseases if they pray here.

Iwakiri Okami Tengu 岩切大神天狗
He has wings and a long nose, but is in fact a 烏天狗 Karasu Tengu.
Sometimes he sits on a kitsune 狐 fox and is shown with flames in his back halo, almost like Fudo Myo-O.
Some legends say there lived 48 Tengu at Mount Kabasan. Their leaders were Iwakiri Okami Tengu and

加波山事件 "The Kabasan Incident"
An attempt to kill the governor of Tochigi, Mister Mishima.
In October 1884, intensifying Jiyu Minken Undo culminated in the Kabasan Incident (a failed terror attack attempt and subsequent harsh crackdown on activists of Jiyu Minken Undo in Ibaraki and Tochigi Prefectures), prompting Itagaki to dissolve the Liberal Party for the time being.
