What are the exact name ofthose Buddha statues Iori made you posted? Besides the Boss one

The Earth statue is Bishamonten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Japan. Aside from Ebisu, who is a purified Hiruko, all of the Seven Lucky Gods are regional variants of gods imported from China and India. Bishamonten specifically is Kuvera, a Hindu wealth god who was promoted to a Buddhist guardian deva (Buddhist name: Vaisravana). Notorious avatars of Kuvera include Li Jing (Nezha's father, avatar status canon to Type-Moon Pan-Human History), Sakanoue no Tamuramaro (Suzuka Gozen's husband, avatar status unclear in Type-Moon), and Uesugi Kenshin (Nagao Kagetora, avatar status maybe exclusive to Gudaguda).

The Water statue is Maha Vairocana, the most central and most perfected entity in Mahayana Buddhism. The Buddha above all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so to speak. In 752, Emperor Shoumu established that Maha Vairocana is the Buddha form of sun goddess Amaterasu, a belief established as canon to Type-Moon. Amaterasu/Vairocana shows her actual face in Tamamo's route of CCC, so she's the only one in the post where I put a picture of the actual Buddha instead of an avatar.

The Wind statue is a Bodhisattva known by the Japanese name Kanzeon (frequently shortened to Kannon) or the Sanscrit name Avalokitesvara, but certainly more popular by the Chinese name Guanyin thanks to their recurring presence in China's mythological epics. They're featured in The Investiture of the Gods as one of the Xians who completed their studies under Yuanshi Tianzun, and later they appear in Journey to the West as the Bodhisattva who sent Xuanzang on his journey and pretty much always the first one they call for help when they need intervention from a higher force. They're widely known for being a shapeshifter, resulting in many variants of statues of them both in masculine and feminine forms. During the ban on Christianity in Japan, the Christians got away with having Virgin Mary statues by establishing Mary's image as one of the many transformations of Kanzeon. Bodhisattva Kanzeon is the main object of worship of the Yoshinaka Temple, which is why both he and Tomoe have Avalokitesvara's sutra as their NP name. Surprisingly enough, Guanyin has yet to make any significant appearance in Fate/, so I went with Yoshinaka's armor as their image because the Yoshinaka Temple association comes with the strong implication that his armor is a treasure modeled after Kanzeon's image.

The Fire statue is Acala, more known by his Japanese name, Fudou Myou-ou. You may know him as the big angry Stand from Musashi's Noble Phantasm. Acala is a really minor Wisdom King in the original Indo-Buddhist side of things, but for some reason, he's immensely popular in Japan. The main story he's featured in is the story of how Sidharta Gautama became The Buddha. The most popular version of it is that Mara appeared to impede Gautama's enlightenment, but ultimately was driven away inside him Mara found the angry face of Acala, the Buddha's demon-conquering form. That's the version I'm more familiar with, so I would prefer using Extra's Buddha as Fudou Myou-ou's image, but another version says that Acala was either a messenger sent by Vairocana to ensure Gautama's enlightenment or Vairocana's own demon-conquering form. And Musashi's materials associate Fudou with Shiva (never heard of this connection before), so for canon compliance, I had to go with Shiva('s avatar Asvattaman).

And the Void statue is the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. It's a transformation where Guanyin copies the 1000 arms of Vishnu to reach out and save the biggest possible number of sentient beings in all worlds. I could use Yoshinaka again since that's another Guanyin, but I went with Vishnu('s avatar Rama) since this form is essentially Guanyin transformed into Vishnu. I also considered photoshopping 40 extra pairs of arms into Rama but I'm lazy and the pose in his card really doesn't help anyone trying to multiply his arm.

Are there any other samurai clans other than Minamoto or Fujiwara that are involved in supernatural stuff? I know there are the likes of Taira no Koremochi or Sakanoue Tamuramaro, but it seems those two are the only ones outside Minamoto and Fujiwara that encountered Oni-like beings.

Regardless of the military exploits of Fujiwara no Hidesato and the like, Fujiwara were a court noble (kuge) clan first and foremost and their power declined with the rise of military governments, so I would not count them as a "samurai clan" tbh. If you're counting them you also have to count Kibi no Makibi (encounters an oni in Kibi Daijin Nitto Emaki), Miyako no Yoshika (encounters an oni in multiple sources), Ki no Haseo (encounters an oni in Haseo zoshi), Ono no Takamura (encounters oni in hell), or virtually any story involving an onmyoji considering both Abe and Kamo clans were court nobility. It is natural stories either originally devised in the Heian period or dealing with the Heian period feature the major political players of this era - this is essentially the phenomenon you are somewhat inaccurately describing. Heian period remained the favored backdrop for many sorts of stories, and arguably retains this role today, hence you will see considerably more Minamotos or Kamos than Tokugawas or Tsuchimikados in such contexts. This being said, there is no shortage of stories set in later periods in which historical figures - samurai or not - encounter supernatural beings, also. Yaegaki-hime comes to mind as an example. You just need to look beyond the sources you're depending on atm. However, you have to also take into account that by the Edo period many people were reasonably well educated and simply didn't believe in supernatural creatures; or at the very least did not see them as something people would encounter in these times, at least not in urban areas. Wondering why you don't hear about the Tokugawa shoguns encountering oni is kind of like wondering why you don't hear about Louis XIV encountering centaurs. It was an era of growing literacy rates, playful engagement with the classics, but also strenghtened confucian euhemerism. As Noriko Reider put it, oni were essentially de-demonized and became a commodity - and older stories were being reinvented as satire. Her book is open access, you can read it here. I guarantee you will understand the matters you've asked about much better after reading it.

My design of a Mego with a more FGO twist to it! 

Short overview:

Megohime, born of the dying Tamura clan, is a dignified, self-respecting  woman, raised as the pride of her family. For the Tamura, spirit seeing eyes and pink hair is fairly common, but a full head of pink has gotten rarer over the generations.  the color itself is believed to indicate a stronger connection to their demon slaying ancestor, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. 

She's the undisputed Lady of the House next to her Lord husband, with sharpness and care in her doting nature that can be described a mother falcon's talons. She can be forthright or gentle with her words, able to read the situation easily. Years beside Masamune means she knows exactly how her love, her monster, operates.

青森 / Aomori

酸ヶ湯の南、青森と秋田の県境にまたがる地域に東北地方もう一つのカルデラ湖、十和田湖がある。

Südlich von Sukayu, an der Grenze zwischen Aomori und Akita liegt ein weiterer Caldera-See in der Region, der Towada-See.

四方を高い山に囲まれているため、周辺地域から湖に至る道の多くが冬季閉鎖となる。それもあってか冬の十和田湖には人影がほとんどなく静寂に包まれる。

Der See liegt im Kessel und ist auf vier Seiten von hohen Bergen umgeben. Die besonders große Menge von Schnee in der Gegend sorgt dafür, dass die meisten Straßen zum See den ganzen Winter gesperrt bleiben. Am winterlichen See herrscht deshalb eine absolute Stille.

湖畔の森の中にひっそりと佇む神社がある。十和田神社である。807年東征に際して当地に寄った坂上田村麻呂による創建と伝えられる。

Mitten in einem kleinen Wald direkt am Seeufer liegt ein kleiner Shinto-Schrein, der Towada-Schrein. Laut der Überlieferung sei er im Jahr 807 durch den General (Shōgun) Sakanoue no Tamuramaro bei seinem Feldzug erbaut worden.

Shogun!

830 years ago today, August 21, 1192, Minamoto no Yoritomo was invested with the title of Sei-i Taishogun, (Commander-in-Chief of the Anti Barbarian Forces) the military dictator of Japan, by the Emperor. He would be one of 40 men throughout history to carry the title, simplified to “Shogun”.

The various Shogun headed the Bakufu, or the “tent government”. The tent represented the position as that of a field commander, while also alluding to the temporary nature of the position. The Kamakura Shogunate lasted from 1192 until 1333, and consisted of 9 shogun. The Ashikaga Shogunate spaned the years 1336 to 1573, with 16 men serving as Shogun. The Tokugawa Shogunate featured 15 Shogun between 1603 and 1868.

There were other warriors provided with the title of Sei-I Taishogun, but most were only awarded the title during a particular campaign. Sakanoue no Tamuramaro was an exception, holding the title for 11 years from 797 – 808.

Only those within the Minamoto bloodline could be named as shogun, hence Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not have become Shogun. In order to be able to claim the then dormant position, Tokugawa Ieyasu had his family tree re-drawn to include a Minamoto “ancestor”. This allowed him to become the first of 15 Tokugawa Shogun.

Rpg Anon: Ok so I did do some more research into Suzuka and she did fall in love with a guy named Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. They quote on quote "fell in love at first sight". She helped him kill her old husband (ootakemaru was one of the big 3 yokai of Japan). BUT, there's a lot of things that complicate everything. 1. Historically, there's like no story afterwards and 2. If you want to go pop media, um well there might be a tragic version where he kills her anyway. Yeah.

I mean, they did have a daughter and there is a story of him going to hell to revive her. BUT, that opens more complications. 1. There is no chronology of these events so we don't know whether he felt guilty and revived her and then had a happy ending with her. And 2. Well, honestly different versions of the story kinda contradict each other. So we really don't know what to believe.

FGO Suzuka Gongen honestly acts like a ultra gyaru gal just to move on from her past and her "ex boyfriend" (whether she means Ootakemaru or Sakanoue idk) for a reason. She really like talking about her past.

//Those first two paragraphs sound like a badly explained version of the plot of Asura's Wrath.

//That's basically all I can say about this.

Black Shogun

In the year 803 AD, Black Japanese General, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, was beloved by all. This court noble, Shogun and minister of war for the Emperor of medieval Japan commanded his armies against the Emishi people to unify his island. This black Shogun was considered as a “paragon of military virtues”. It was because of he that the Japanese proverb state, “For a Samurai to be brave, he must have…

“Well I didn’t vote for you to be archon! How did you become Archon?”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “ You mean you didn't vote me in the government because clearly being an archon is not a title you can just acquire like that. Even so there's no voting, the shōgunshoku or the government of the shogun is hereditary. The term shogun appeared in various titles given to military commanders commissioned for the imperial government’s campaigns against the Ezo tribes of northern Inazuma. The highest warrior rank, seii taishōgun (“barbarian-quelling generalissimo”), was first attained by Sakanoue Tamuramaro, and the title (abbreviated as shogun) was later applied to all shogunate leaders. The shogunate appointed its own military governors, or shugo, as heads of each province and named stewards to supervise the individual estates into which the provinces had been divided, thus establishing an effective national network. ”

“ The current shogunate is the most powerful central government of Inazuma. Controlling the daimyo, and the religious establishments, administered lands, and handled Inazuman foreign affairs. Now to archon, the seven gain their ascension after victory in the archon war and each Archon has an internal magic focus called a Gnosis, which allows them to resonate directly with Celestia. Gnosis is seen more as a heart connecting them and under the control of Celestia.”

“ You misunderstood the term archon with a different term and highly misunderstood the Inazuman government as a whole. ”

"I ask the question now that I naively didn’t ask in 1980. Where are the Black people?” he adds. In Africa, that’s the short answer. But no, Spivey isn’t done. He goes on to claim that there absolutely were black people in Japan in 1600 and some of them were Samurai warriors. “I don’t ask out of a desire to see representation when it wasn’t historically accurate. I inquire because there were Black people in Japan in 1600 and before, though Japan could teach Florida a thing or two about rewriting history,” he claims. Spivey continues, “According to multiple sources, one of the early real-life Shoguns, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro (758–811), was Black, though denied by others. There is a consensus he was something other than pure Japanese, and he is often considered descended from the Ainu, the darker-skinned indigenous people of northern Japan who were subjected to forced assimilation and colonization.” Not content with that unverifiable and inaccurate claim, he made up a ‘Japanese’ proverb, that goes “For a Samurai to be brave, he must have a bit of Black blood.”

Filler post basically.

This is a Suwa Shrine close to where I live: Nagasaku Suwa Shrine in Nagasaku, Hanamigawa-ku, Chiba City.

As noted in the billboard, the shrine's origin story claims that it was erected by the general Sakanoue no Tamuramaro on his way back to the capital after 'pacifying' the Emishi peoples of northern Japan in the early 9th century (to sum, an oft-repeated medieval legend claims that Tamuramaro prayed at Suwa for victory in battle and the god of Suwa himself in the guise of a warrior on horseback came with him), but as with many most shrine foundation stories, it's really best to take this with a grain of salt.

Now that being said, the clan that controlled this area during the medieval period, the Takeishi, (武石氏, a branch of the Chiba clan) did have land holdings in what is now Ueda City in Nagano, so ...

(To recap, the Kamakura shogunate used Suwa Shrine to unify and assert its control over the warrior class. Heck, its priestly families - by then turned samurai just like nearly every other important clan - occupied important positions in the government. It's not a coincidence that the Suwa deity is a patron of the warrior's favorite pastime: hunting. This is one reason why there are a lot of Suwa branch shrines in Japan.)

In case you're wondering what the Obisha ceremony described in the billboard looks like:

Priest's got good aim.

(BTW that thing that looks like the hiragana 'ru' る? That's actually supposed to be the (cursive) kanji for 'crow', 烏.)

They DO address Suzuka's husband in her home entry: Foxtail. She considers her husband, Sakanoue-no-Tamuramaro, an ex-boyfriend. So its just like with Gawain, Tamuramaro was her husband when living, but isn't a factor anymore. And since a good part of her myth is how she came fall in love with Tamuramaro and neglect her mission, she's a bit of a love freak and an airhead, her intelligence only rising when she gets pissed or when she uses her second Noble Phantasm, in which she can recite PI.

well im glad SOMETHING addresses that. dunno why they cant be bothered to mention that in fgo tho. Ultimately i think i just cant agree with the direction they chose to go with this character. her weird fixation on being a highschooler is not only random and dumb, it feels so gross, like the writer desperately wants someone to validate his fetish. we get it dude, ur fucking obsessed with highschool girls. you dont need every other word out of suzuka’s mouth to be “highschool girl.” you can actually write a character instead of a collection of cliches, i promise.

The writer also doesn’t have the balls to own it either. In the same way higashide writes atalante being uncomfortable with her alter outfit even tho they created that outfit, they have that joke in suzuka’s profile where its like “uh, suzuka, are you sure you wanna be a highschool girl??” and its like dude shut the fuck up. YOU wrote her as this weird pseudo-pedophilic fantasy of an adult woman desperately pretending to be a highschool girl, you don’t get to then turn around and be like “haha, that sure is weird huh?” if you know its weird and shameful and you don’t have the stones to own it maybe don’t write her like that? just an idea.
