F29
, Jikokuten and F30, Tamonten
Jikokuten is one of the Shitenno (The Four Devas) who lived east of Mt. Shamisen (Legendary Holy Mountain) protecting the east side of the world. He and his loyal follower, Konjocho ( from the myths of India a big dragon eating bird), conquered all devils. As a warrior with an angry face, the statue is armored with a sword and jewels. Another Deva, Tamonten, lived in the north side of Mt. Shamisen, protecting the north side of the world and treasures. His followers were Yasha and Rasetsu, who were originally devils before they became believers in Buddhism. The statue is armored with a pike in his right hand and a stupa in his left hand. In Japan he became one of the Seven Deities and was widely worshipped by Samurai. However, the Shitenno were dressed as aristocrats in India while they were dressed in China as they were in Japan.

F32, Zohchoten and F33, Kohmokuten
Zohchoten lived in the south side of Mt.Shamisen protecting this side of the world, and he was regarded as the head of all devils. His red body was clad in helmet and armor. A sword in his right hand in a gesture of a very angry commander, he had followers of Kuhanda, a family from Zohchoten, quick runner devils with the head of horses and bodies of humans. Komokuten lived in the west part of the mountain observing all humans and God's creatures, and protecting Buddha hood. His red or yellow body clad in armor, he was a commander generally with an angry look and three-forked heavy spear, brushes, sword or halberd in his hands.
