Sanshin (Hangul: 산신; hanja: 山神) are local mountain gods in Korean shamanism. They are often paired with tigers. In Korea, every Buddhist temple has a dedicated shrine called a sanshingak (Hangul: 산신각; hanja: 山神閣) to the local sanshin, who is typically represented as an elder male figure surrounded by tigers.[1]
The Japanese equivalent is the Yama-no-Kami (also pronounced yamagami).
