Fiction Mt. Shigi Fiction Shigi Yama

A story about a dharmapala, a Buddhist deity that often takes on the form of a child, who helps a monk on various adventures. From healing a sick emperor to returning a stolen rice bowl, this charming story is rooted in the mythology of Chougosonshi-ji temple on Mt. Shigi in Nara, Japan.
