Tekkai Sennin is a character from Japanese legend, he is an immortal with the power to leave his body and trvel in spirit from. One day he left his body and asked his apprentice to burn it if his spirit did not return within seven days. The apprentice’s mother dies so he burned Tekkai’s body and returned home for her funeral. Left with no choice upon returning Tekkai had to inhabit the body of an old beggar found by the side of the road. He is often pictured with a gourd and sometimes his companion horse.
