Enno Gyoja (634–701 CE), founder of Shugendo, blended Shinto, Taoist, and Buddhist practices, centered at Kimpusenji and Hagurosan. Shingon malas and bamboo breathing tamed nature, reflecting Fuxi’s creation. His distinctive mountain asceticism explored ultimate reality through physical limits.

Saicho

Saicho (767–822 CE), founder of Tendai, introduced Chinese Tiantai to Japan, establishing Enryakuji with 33 worship sites. Shingon/Zen incense and forest bathing taught humanity, aligning with Fuxi’s fire gift. His unique multicultural synthesis via mantra and mandala enriched Japanese Buddhism.

Kukai

Kukai (774–835 CE), founder of Shingon, brought esoteric Buddhism from China, founding Koyasan with Tozanha Shugendo. Shingon womb and diamond banners instructed humanity, as Fuxi did, through ritual. His distinctive mandalabased path revealed unity in diversity.
