奈良県 Nara 天川村 / 天河 Tenkawa
Near the temple 安生寺 Ansho-Ji there are five families, who do NOT prepare chimaki 粽 ritual rice dumplings for the Boy's festival on May 5th and hishimochi 菱餅 red and white dumplings for the Girls's festival on May 3.
These families claim to be descendants of the Demons (Zenki and Goki). The Chimaki look like the tsuno 角 horns of an Oni and the Hishimochi look like oni no shita 鬼の舌 the tongue of an Oni, thus they feel it an insult against the ancestors to prepare them.
During the Setsubun rituals, they never chant
oni wa soto 鬼は外 but only fuku wa uchi 福は内.

These are three square mounded tombs arranged from east to west on the south side of the Mausoleum of Empress Nakatsuhime.
From east, they are called Yashimazuka Mounded Tomb, Nakayamazuka Mounded Tomb, and Suketayama Mounded Tomb, respectively.

kidoo 鬼童 "child demon"
Kidomaru
. Kidoomaru 鬼童丸、鬼同丸 Kidomaru .
After Minamoto Raiko had killed the yokai Shuten Doji, all the girls he had kidnapped ("eaten") were set free to go home. But one had gone so out of her mind, she did not remember where she was from. She was pregnant and eventually gave birth to a baby with all teeth already there. This "Demon Child" 鬼童 Kido grew up and went to Kyoto, trying to kill the brother of Raiko. But he did not succeed and got caught himself.
Kidōmaru is known as both a robber and a magician ... He is the subject of legends of its own.
.........................................................................
and a modern version, appearing in games
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Kidomaru 鬼童丸 learning magic from the Tengu
Utagawa Kuniyoshi 歌川国芳『鬼童丸』
- quote -
Physical description:
Kidōmaru seated cross-legged on the head of a giant python, his hands clasped and two wrapped pine-sprigs in his mouth, a dirk has been driven into the head of the python, around which small snakes are writhing while four tengu watch.
"Kidōmaru is known as both a robber and a magician... The instruction that he receives here from the tengu can only be described as a sort of mystical experience involving self-purgation - he accesses a side of himself that he hitherto was not fully aware of. This Kidōmaru is not derived from the usual source, the Zen Taiheiki, rather he seems to be inspired by Takizawa Bakin's yomihon, Shitennō shōtō iroku (Strange Story of the Eradication of the Wicked Four Retainers,1806). In this yomihon, Kidōmaru competes in practicing magic with Hakamadare Yasuuke. Kidōmaru conjures up a poisonous serpent, whereas Yasuuke produces an eagle.
In this print the head of the giant python is almost as arresting as the countenance of Kidōmaru and provides a second strong focal point. The aomatsuba (wrapped pine sprigs) likewise command the viewer's attention, as do other elements such as the flames and the small writhing snakes. The colours in this print are riveting in their bold juxtaposition of blue and red.
There are two types of tengu, one is winged but has a human face with a very long nose (yamabushi or 'mountain priest' tenfu), the other has a bird's head and a strong, curved beak (karasu or 'crow' tengu). Four of the latter type inhabit the bottom section of this image."
Quoted from: Japanese Warrior Prints 1646-1905 / by James King and Yuriko Iwakiri, p. 269.

憑き物系統に関する民族的研究
その一例として飛騨の牛蒡種 goboodane from Hida
喜田貞吉 Yoshida Sadakichi (1871 - 1939)
六 chapter 6
牛蒡種は護法胤 ―― 鬼の子孫と鬼筋、鬼と天狗
... 所謂牛蒡種の本場なる上宝村双六谷が、もともと護法なる天狗の棲処であったということは、果していかなる意味であろうか。山城北部の八瀬の村人は、かつては自分で鬼の子孫であることを認めておったもので、それは村人自身の記した八瀬記にそう書いてあるのだから間違いない。そしてその子孫を今に八瀬童子と呼んでいるのは、先祖の鬼を護法童子と見做しての名称であるに相違ない。...
... 五条附近の安生寺 Ansho-Ji 垣内に十四五軒、表野・丹原・池芝などにも一二軒宛あるという。
