"The Tengu's Fan" (天狗の羽団扇, Tengu no Hauchiwa)
A scoundrel obtains a tengu's magic fan, which can shrink or grow noses. He secretly uses this item to grotesquely extend the nose of a rich man's daughter, and then shrinks it again in exchange for her hand in marriage. Later he accidentally fans himself while he dozes, and his nose grows so long it reaches heaven, resulting in painful misfortune for him.

Once a Tengu met a run-down gambler with a special dice, said to bring 千里眼 clairvoiance. So he exchanged his feather fan for it. When he found out he had been cheated, the Tengu went looking for the home of the gambler. The home was surrounded by plants that a Tengu dislikes, (thorny brambles and azaleas).
In his anger the Tengu threw 牡丹餅 sweet rice cakes at the home, not knowing that this was a well-loved food by the gambler.

............................................................................ Miyagi 宮城県

Once upon a time there lived なまけ者の時 a lazy person called Toki. He was told to go to the mountain forest to work, but he soon sat down under a pine tree and had a nap. But on this tree happened to sit a Tengu, who wanted to play a trick on Toki. He fanned the nose with his feather fan, so that it grew quite long. When Toki woke up and found his nose had grown he was quite surprized. The Tengu said to him:
"With my fan you can make your nose very long or very short. I will lent it to you and we can make some good money with this! If you fan with the front side a nose will grow longer. If you fan with the back side, a nose will shrink."
Toki was lucky and made a good bit of money with this fan.
Once he had to shit whilst in the wilderness and had nothing to wipe his behind, so he thought he could use
just a bit of the back of his magic fan.
Then he went back to his business, making his nose long. But when he tried to make it short again, it did not shrink any more and he became the laughing stock of the region.
He had to become a beggar, walking around shaking his long nose, begging for food.

At 魔尼山 Manizan there lived a Tengu.
The only son of the 西野家 Nishino family in 大工 Daikumachi village was once abducted by a person looking like a mountain priest. Seven years later his mother had a dream. Her son appeared and told her he was taken care of by a Tengu who taught him many things. He would soon graduate and asked her to place some vegetables and a large portion of rice (tengu no goohan 強飯) on the roof.
When she did as asked, the next night there were voices outside on the roof, then it became quiet again.
Another ten and more years later, the feather fan of a Tengu was delivered to the Nishio family and she was sure it was a keepsake of her son.
The house of the Nishio family never bured down, not even during the great fire in the village.

... Apparently the tengu shide is a mutation and the only place in the world it grows is around Oasa. According to the local story, if you try climbing one of these trees a tengu will appear and throw you off.

Once a man from 多野郡上野村塩ノ Ueno, Shionozawa went fishing at night and said he saw a Kawa Tengu. From upstream a ball of light came down and when he cast his net in this direction, he caught a lot of fish.
Another fisher tells of the ball of fire getting inside his net, but when he hauled it out, the fire ball disappeared and he was left with a great catch.
(Maybe the source of the fire are some special insects or 発光バクテリア bacteria which produce light which lure the fish?)

仁助兄弟が、三沢村三井の霧ヶ瀬で網打ちをしていると、鮎がたくさん捕れ、天狗様がやきもちをやかぬように、いつもの通り、ハラワタを抜いた２、３尾の鮎を生簀の板の上に並べて贄を捧げた。しかし、天狗様の気に入らなかったのか、大きな火の玉が舟に落ち、兄弟はびっくりして家に逃げ帰った。このテンゴーサマはカワウソのいたずらだという。
.
ある夜、鮎を捕るためにやなを掛けて番をしていると、火の玉が川波にゆられて下へ流れる。相棒が、上に流れるわけがない、と言うと、火の玉は上流に向かって流れた。こうしたことはみなカワテンゴウ（川天狗）の仕業で、そういう時は、捕った魚はいつの間にか川天狗にみんな食われてしまうという。
.
津久井郡牧野村を流れる川に水神の渕と呼ばれる所がある。その渕には、幅９尺、高さ６尺位の岩が突出していて、その下に空洞があり、甲州の安寺（あてら）沢に続いていると言われていた。この渕には河童が住んでおり、子供は一切水浴びに行かなかったという。
.
網打ちしているとたくさん鮎が獲れた。天狗が嫉妬しないように腸を抜いた鮎を捧げたが、気に入らないのか大きな火の玉が落ちてきた。実はかわうそのいたずらだった。
.
妻が１人で家にいると、かわいい見慣れない子供が来て火をくれと言う。毎日同じ事が続き、夫は、それは人間ではなく河童に違いないから、火をやってみるとよい、と言う。その翌日も子供が来たので、妻が火を差し出すと、子供は「御免なさい」と言って逃げ出したので、妻は火を持ってその後を追ったという。
.
夜中に川へ行くと、真っ暗な中を火の玉が転がってくることがあるが、これは川天狗というものである。これが出た時には、河原の石の上を洗い清めて、取れた魚を供えると消えるのだという。また、投網をしているときに少し離れた辺りを同じく投網しながら行くもの、或いは、大勢の人の声がして松明の灯があるにも拘らず、その実何もないようなとき、それらも川天狗の仕業だという。
.
A man named 角田福三 Kakuda Fukuzo
角田福三氏が、１５、６歳の頃、船頭の金太さんを連れて網打ちに行った。しかし、金太はなにを話しかけても返事をせず、気分でも悪いのだろうと川原へ上がり、小屋で休んだが、やはり口は重く、ただ寒い寒いと震えているばかりだった。再び船に乗りこみ、金太に事情を尋ねると、舳に大入道が出たのだという。大入道は恐らくカワウソの化けたものだという。
.
小雨の晩、角田福三氏が祖父と鐘ヶ淵の岩下に鮎を捕りに行った。突然ドボーンと大きな水音がし、２人は急に体がゾクゾクするほど気味が悪くなった。祖父はきっと身投げに違いないと言い、翌朝行ってみたが、それらしいものはなく、川原の砂地に子犬ぐらいの足跡が沢山ついていた。それはカワウソの足跡で、水音もカワウソのいたずらだったのだろうという。

小雨のそぼ降る晩、鮎漁をしていたら、青色の火の玉が現れた。火の玉は２、３回廻って消えてしまった。こんなのを川天狗と言うのだろう。

神奈川県津久井郡内郷村（現・相模原市緑区）では川天狗は姿を現すことはなく、夜に人が川で漁をしていると、大きな火の玉が突然転がって来ることがあり、これが川天狗の仕業とされていた。このようなときは、河原の石の上を洗い清め、獲れた魚を供えるとこの怪異は失せたという。また人が川に網を放つと、川天狗も姿を見せずに網を放つ音を立てたという。誰もいないのに大勢の人声が聞こえたり松明の火が盛んに見えるものも、川天狗と呼ばれた

- quote -
旧津久井郡域相模川周辺（支流でも）、河童の話が多いが、所謂頭にお皿で背中に甲羅のカッパのイメージとは大分違うようだ。以下、日文研のデータベースからいくつか引きながら見ておこう。

・河童の姿形や生態については、以下のように言われている。犬のようであり、胴長で、後ろ足が短く、魚を食う。道志川にも河童はおり、子供が食われてしまったという話もある。昔の人に話を聞くと、しばしば言われる頭の上の皿もないものと言われている。（神奈川県史）

ということでこれはカワウソ的なモノなんじゃないかという感じである。実際後に引く話ではカワウソのいたずらだと言っている。で、このカッパをどうも「かわてんごー」というようなのだが、川天狗ということだろう。そうすると正しく「狗」を引いていることになる。

・夜中に川へ行くと、真っ暗な中を火の玉が転がってくることがあるが、これは川天狗というものである。これが出た時には、河原の石の上を洗い清めて、取れた魚を供えると消えるのだという。（神奈川県史）

さらにはこのように火の玉と密接に繋がった存在とされている。『日本書紀』舒明紀の天狗（あまつきつね）のようなイメージがあるいはあるのかもしれない。

・仁助兄弟が、三沢村三井の霧ヶ瀬で網打ちをしていると、鮎がたくさん捕れ、天狗様がやきもちをやかぬように、いつもの通り、ハラワタを抜いた２、３尾の鮎を生簀の板の上に並べて贄を捧げた。しかし、天狗様の気に入らなかったのか、大きな火の玉が舟に落ち、兄弟はびっくりして家に逃げ帰った。このテンゴーサマはカワウソのいたずらだという。（民俗）

おおよそ全体的にどのようなものか皆語られている例というとこんなだろうか。火の玉でカワウソで魚を沢山獲るとやきもちを焼くのがテンゴーサマ・川天狗・河童ということのようだ。一方津久井の火の玉の怪の原因の多くは狐とされるが、案外狐と河童が近い所にいるのかもしれない。

夜間出漁した漁師が川天狗に邪魔されることが往々にあったが、物慣れた漁師だと捕った魚を石の上に並べ「かけごをあげるから悪戯を止めてください」と唱えて祈ると利目がある。

hana long nose of Tengu

source and more photos : xsl99.com/new

Daitengu, or ”Major Tengu.“ Typically appears as man with a very long nose and red face.

- quote
The Buddhist Connection. Why the Long Nose?
The Yamabushi Tengu comes in two flavors -- the long-nosed goblin with human face or
the beak-nosed goblin with human face.

Tengu are always portrayed as having a mischievous sense of humor, for they love playing tricks on those they encounter, especially on pretentious and arrogant Buddhist priests and samurai. Indeed, by the late Kamakura Period, the Tengu become a major literary vehicle for criticising both established and nascent Buddhist sects

The long nose relates to the Tengu’s hatred of arrogance and prejudice. Priests with no true knowledge, prideful individuals, those attached to fame, and those who willfully mislead or misuse the Buddhist cannons are turned into the long-nosed Yamabushi Tengu (or sent to Tengudo, the realm of the Tengu) after their deaths. Corrupt Buddhist monks and corrupt Buddhist monestaries were in fact a major concern throughout Japan’s middle ages. Tengu are thus seen as protectors of the Dharma (Buddhist law), and punish those who mislead the people. Over time, the folklore of tengu and yamabushi become intertwined, and even the crow tengu (karasu tengu) begin wearing the robes and caps of priests.

Utagawa Kunisada 歌川国定

- quote -
Hell is empty and all the devils are here
The woodcut print by Kunisada Utagawa above features six Japanese masks.
..... This Kunisada print is particularly interesting as it features pop-up flaps on strings attached to the lower half of the six masks. Pulling on them reveals gaping mouths. In this way these masks are reminiscent of traditional 舞楽 bugaku masks.
..... Kunisada’s work features some of the most notoriously terrifying creatures of Japanese folklore. The third red mask from the left is identified as a type of oni-no-men (鬼ノ面) by the Japanese script on its right. In folkloric tradition, oni (鬼) are a type of yōkai (妖怪), which is the name given to supernatural creatures. The men in the term oni-men is translated to mean ‘mask’. Oni are generally thought to be hideous, horned, ogre-like creatures with large talons. Their skin is most typically red or blue. Oni were believed to cause disasters, disease and other forms of misfortune. They were also thought to devour humans.

The red mask on the far right is a hanataka-men (鼻高面).
It represents the hanataka-tengu (鼻高天狗). Tengu literally means “heavenly dog”, as the creatures take their name from a legendary Chinese demon dog. However in Japanese culture, tengu is a deceitful and malicious yōkai originally thought to take on the form of a bird of prey. Over the years, however, many different forms of tengu have arisen. The one featured in Kunisada’s print is a hanataka-tengu, which can be understood as “long-nose tengu”. The long-nose tengu is identified by its abnormally long nose and red face, resembling closely the Western goblin. It has been depicted bewitching people and put them into a trance.

On the left of the hanataka-men is the hannya-men (般若面). The hannya (般若) mask is commonly used in Noh theatre (a classical form of Japanese musical drama) and typically represents a jealous female demon. In Noh, hannya is a woman who has become possessed by her jealousy and obsession and she typically has two horns and a leering mouth. Nuances of human emotion are a characteristic feature of Noh theatre. The hannya displays this subtlety as it is meant to evoke both demonic and sorrowful qualities. When the actor wearing the mask looking straight ahead at the audience , the mask appears terrifying, but when he looks down, the masks paints a picture of torment, as the character appears to be crying. .....
