Gozu Tennō (牛頭天王, lit. "Ox-Headed Heavenly King") is a syncretic Japanese deity of disease and healing. Originally imported to Japan from mainland Asia, he was regarded since the Heian period both as a causer of and protector against epidemics and eventually became amalgamated with the native kami Susanoo during the medieval and early modern periods. During the Meiji period, when the government mandated the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, Shinto shrines dedicated to Gozu Tennō of the Gion cult tradition such as Yasaka Shrine in the Gion district of Kyoto or Tsushima Shrine in Tsushima, Aichi Prefecture officially reidentified their enshrined deity as Susanoo.

  • 牛頭天王(ごずてんのう)は日本における神仏習合の神。釈迦の生誕地に因む祇園精舎の守護神とされた。蘇民将来説話の武塔天神と同一視され薬師如来の垂迹であるとともにスサノオの本地ともされた。京都東山祇園や播磨国広峰山に鎮座して祇園信仰の神(祇園神)ともされ現在の八坂神社にあたる感神院祇園社から勧請されて全国の祇園社、天王社で祀られた。また陰陽道では天道神と同一視された。道教的色彩の強い神だが、中国の文献には見られない。 (ja)
