Tengu no Uchiwa てんぐのうちわ Der blattförmige Fächer vom Tengu



Ein Mann (Mohei) bekommt von einem Tengu (ein Berggeist mit einer langen Nase) einen blattförmigen Fächer, mit dem er seine Nase länger oder auch kürzer machen kann.
Autor: Matsuoka, Setsu // Illustrator: Mizusawa, Ken (1988)

もへいは天狗からうちわをもらいました。うちわで鼻をあおぐと鼻がにゅっ・にゅっ・にゅっとのびる。しまいにはもへいは、うちわで空へまで上ってしまいます。作：松岡節、絵：水沢研。

"The Tengu's Fan" (天狗の羽団扇, Tengu no Hauchiwa)
A scoundrel obtains a tengu's magic fan, which can shrink or grow noses. He secretly uses this item to grotesquely extend the nose of a rich man's daughter, and then shrinks it again in exchange for her hand in marriage. Later he accidentally fans himself while he dozes, and his nose grows so long it reaches heaven, resulting in painful misfortune for him.

. Legends and Tales from Japan　伝説 - Introduction .

Once a Tengu met a run-down gambler with a special dice, said to bring 千里眼 clairvoiance. So he exchanged his feather fan for it. When he found out he had been cheated, the Tengu went looking for the home of the gambler. The home was surrounded by plants that a Tengu dislikes, (thorny brambles and azaleas).
In his anger the Tengu threw 牡丹餅 sweet rice cakes at the home, not knowing that this was a well-loved food by the gambler.

Once upon a time there lived なまけ者の時 a lazy person called Toki. He was told to go to the mountain forest to work, but he soon sat down under a pine tree and had a nap. But on this tree happened to sit a Tengu, who wanted to play a trick on Toki. He fanned the nose with his feather fan, so that it grew quite long. When Toki woke up and found his nose had grown he was quite surprized. The Tengu said to him:
"With my fan you can make your nose very long or very short. I will lent it to you and we can make some good money with this! If you fan with the front side a nose will grow longer. If you fan with the back side, a nose will shrink."
Toki was lucky and made a good bit of money with this fan.
Once he had to shit whilst in the wilderness and had nothing to wipe his behind, so he thought he could use
just a bit of the back of his magic fan.
Then he went back to his business, making his nose long. But when he tried to make it short again, it did not shrink any more and he became the laughing stock of the region.
He had to become a beggar, walking around shaking his long nose, begging for food.

At 魔尼山 Manizan there lived a Tengu.
The only son of the 西野家 Nishino family in 大工 Daikumachi village was once abducted by a person looking like a mountain priest. Seven years later his mother had a dream. Her son appeared and told her he was taken care of by a Tengu who taught him many things. He would soon graduate and asked her to place some vegetables and a large portion of rice (tengu no goohan 強飯) on the roof.
When she did as asked, the next night there were voices outside on the roof, then it became quiet again.
Another ten and more years later, the feather fan of a Tengu was delivered to the Nishio family and she was sure it was a keepsake of her son.
The house of the Nishio family never bured down, not even during the great fire in the village.
