Bishamonten the God of War is a major god in Japanese mythology. Bishamonten as well as Shitenno iconography is related to the Four Holy Symbols, a Chinese group of 4 fabulous pets (dragon, red bird, tiger, turtle) who guard the 4 principal instructions (eastern, south, west, north). Over line drawings from Butsuzō-zu-i 仏像図彙, "Gathered Pictures of Buddhist Images." Initial published in 1690 (Genroku 元禄 3). Significant Japanese dictionary of Buddhist iconography.
According to the Kojiki (Document of Ancient Matters), Susanoo-no-Mikoto (known as Bishamonten in Japan) lived on the island of Brush in the sea, in what is now known as Izumo in Shimane Prefecture. There, in a Buddhist holy place, there is a sculpture of Bishamonten with a guard as well as a sword.
In Japan, the importance of the 4 creatures appears to have merged with and been supplanted by the Shitenno (4 Heavenly Kings). Vishnu's mount is the bird-man divine being understood in Japan as Karura His other half in Hindu misconceptions is the Buddhist deity understood in Japan as Kichijouten or Kudokuten, the siren of lot of money as well as merit.
Therefore, most of the legendary narratives of the Japanese gods as well as sirens are originated from the ordered publications Kojiki (circa 708-714 AD), Nihon Shoki (circa 720 AD Bookmarks (This Internet page)), and the 9th-century Kogoshui (that compiled the dental folklores that were missing from the earlier two codified papers).
