Timeline of Nichiren Daishonin's Life
A search for information about the Wandering Monk Tenmoku was disappointing. Several sources list him as having received the Mandala Gohonzon #011.
Other than that; Chris Holte mentions the Ko Moku Mondo Ki {Dialogue between Niko and Tenmoku} as Niko's record of a debate that took place in 1299. { See Also Holte}. I have no idea if this would be the same Tenmoku or not.
Also, Reverend Shoryu mentions that a Tenmoku is credited with founding two {2} Nichiren Shu Temples; Shimoya Sano Myokenji, and Shinagawa Honkoji. -- Nichiren Buddhist Schools and Disciple Lineages
