askkakuro :
We know that Shichi's monastery is one example of how the Tengu live, but are there others out there?
Reponse:
Thanks for asking, and for your interest!
There are definitely others out there! Most tengu live in villages. These are always in the mountains, and if possible, built up into tall trees. There are also several temples (also in mountains) built throughout the four islands.
Sometimes there will be individuals that crave travel or don’t fit in, and these will wander the countryside or take to larger cities. I haven’t really mentioned this, but in this particular timeline yokai are common and can occasionally integrate into society. Small human towns are extremely resistant to this, sometimes going as far as killing yokai on sight (like Kana’s lovely village). Big cities, however, tend to grudgingly accept their presence.
