Around Tokyo (and presumably beyond), there are shrines and temples that grant refuge in their precincts for displaced roadside guardians. Jizo, Kannon and Koshin towers bearing the fearsome image of 青面金剛 (Shōmen [blue faced] Kongō), one of the 羅刹天 (rasetsuten) rakshasa lords. Rakshasas are a race of malevolent demons or goblins in Hindu mythology that have supernatural powers and often use them for evil. Shōmen Kongō typically has six arms and carries a trident, arrows, a Buddhist Wheel of Law and a bow.. The roadside markers are many and so are fitted in tightly to the space set aside for these homeless deities.There are at least a pair of visible towers featuring Shōmen Kongo.The followers of the 庚申講 (Kōshin-kō) Kōshin faith have a special devotion to the day (sunrise to sunrise) of the 庚申 metal monkey in the iterative 60 day cycle based on the five elements and the twelve animal zodiac. On the night defined as Kōshin, 三尸/三虫(蟲) (sanshi/sanchū) three worms [also translated as insects or corpses](black, green and white), believed to dwell in a person's body, ascend to heaven while their host sleeps. The 天帝 Emperor of Heaven, apprised by the worms of the host's transgressions during the previous cycle, deducts a certain number of days from the person's life for each misdeed. This belief led to the Japanese custom of staying up all night, 「庚申待」 (kōshin-machi) [hang on]/「守庚申」 (mori kōshin) [protect], to prevent the worms from leaving the body to report on their hosts.
