The portrait was venerated in one of the numerous Tenjin shrines. The wide open eyes and row of white teeth show him in his manifestation as wrathful spirit of revenge (ikari tenjin). In the struggle against the privileges of the Fujiwara, he had become a minister and ambassador, but on account of intrigues was sent into exile where he died. He became a spirit of revenge who threatened the Tennô system from the beyond. To pacify his spirit, he was posthumously rehabilitated and numerous shrines were dedicated to him. |
