This technique seems to be influenced by the Shinto kami, {{translation|[[wikipedia:Ōkuninushi|Ōkuninushi]]|大国主|Great Land Master}}. He was originally killed by his rivals after a wooden log, held open by a wedge, snapped shut on him, before being revived by his mother. Later, Ōkuninushi fell in love with the daughter of [[Wikipedia:Susanoo|Susanoo]] and battled Susanoo himself before becoming the ruler of [[Wikipedia:Izumo|Izumo]]. |

This technique seems to be based upon {{translation|[[wikipedia:Tentōki and Ryūtōki|Ryūtōki]]|竜燈鬼|Dragon-Lamp Demon}}, a creature from Japanese folklore, who is typically depicted as a small [[Wikipedia:Oni|oni]] with a dragon coiled around its torso. Together with {{translation|Tentōki|天燈鬼|Heavenly-Lamp Demon}}, the pair symbolise the power of the [[Wikipedia:Four Heavenly Kings|Shitennō]] to repel and defeat evil. |

Edit
This technique seems to be based upon Ryūtōki (竜燈鬼, Dragon-Lamp Demon), a creature from Japanese folklore, who is typically depicted as a small oni with a dragon coiled around its torso. Together with Tentōki (天燈鬼, Heavenly-Lamp Demon), the pair symbolise the power of the Shitennō to repel and defeat evil.
The Buddhist monk Kōben sculpted notable wooden statues of both Tentōki and Ryūtōki, which are each considered a National Treasure of Japan.
