Straps(?) are put under the chin, like with Maria's little crown.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

Alternately the straps can be tied in the back as well, under the base of the skull.

Most convenient for artists who forget to or just dislike drawing the straps.

Are there actually such a thing as wolf tengu in Japanese folklore, or is Momiji unique to Zun?

By the power of Wikpedia, I summon quotations:

>Tengu (天狗?, "heavenly dogs") are a class of supernatural creatures found in Japanese folklore, art, theater, and literature. They are one of the best known yōkai (monster-spirits) and are sometimes worshipped as Shinto kami (revered spirits or gods). Although they take their name from a dog-like Chinese demon (Tiangou), the tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey, and they are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics.

>Creatures that do not fit the classic bird or yamabushi image are sometimes called tengu. For example, tengu in the guise of wood-spirits may be called guhin (occasionally written kuhin) (狗賓 dog guests?), but this word can also refer to tengu with canine mouths or other features.[21] The people of Kōchi Prefecture on Shikoku believe in a creature called shibaten or shibatengu (シバテン, 芝天狗, lawn tengu?), but this is a small child-like being who loves sumō wrestling and sometimes dwells in the water, and is generally considered one of the many kinds of kappa.[22] Another water-dwelling tengu is the kawatengu (川天狗, river tengu?) of the Greater Tokyo Area. This creature is rarely seen, but it is believed to create strange fireballs and be a nuisance to fishermen. [23]

Neat!!!
/jp/ really needs to talk about the folklore of japan more. It's a very rich and interesting part of traditional Japanese culture.
I can almost bet that Touhou has gotten more Japanese youths interested in their historic culture.

Even if he is, doujins, figurines, and dakimakura are on-topic for /jp/, whereas traditional Japanese folklore is only tangentially related at best. If you actually wish to discuss Japanese folklore you might want to try a board such as >>>/int/ where it is on-topic.
