Tenmangū (天満宮) is a Shinto shrine which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane as Tenjin. There are about 14,000 such shrines in Japan; famous examples include:
- Dazaifu Tenmangū (Dazaifu, Fukuoka) -- One of the Sōhonsha (head shrines) of Tenman-gū
- Kitano Tenmangū (Kamigyo, Kyoto) -- Another Sōhonsha of Tenman-gū
- Nagaoka Tenmangū (Nagaokakyo, Kyoto)
- Misode Tenmangū (Onomichi, Hiroshima)
- Osaka Tenmangū (Kita-ku, Osaka)
- Hōfu Tenmangū (Hofu, Yamaguchi)
- Yabo Tenmangū (Kunitachi, Tokyo)
- Yamada Tenmangū, Nagoya
- Yushima Tenmangū (Bunkyo, Tokyo)
- Kameido Tenjin Shrine (Koto, Tokyo)
Dazaifu Tenman-gū and Kitano Tenmangū are often grouped together with another of these shrines and called the "Three Great Tenjin Shrines", but there is no generally accepted criterion for the selection of a third shrine.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
