<b>Kappa </b>are supernatural creatures which live both on land and in water. They are as tall as a four or five year old child. They have a beak-like snout, and fins on their hands and feet. They also have a shell on their back, and a water-filled dish on their head. As long as the dish is full of water, kappa keep their supernatural powers. Kappa are known for dragging people into the water and pulling out their livers through their anuses.<br />
<br />
Although kappa harm people sometimes, there are also many tales where they have helped people. They are very curious. They often appear in cartoons because of their lovable images.<br />
<br />
Kappa love sumo wrestling and cucumbers. That is why cucumber sushi rolls are called "kappa maki". "Okappa" are bobbed hairstyles because they look like the kappa's hairstyles. Kappa are excellent swimmers. <br />
There is a saying "Kappa no kawa nagare (a drowning kappa)" which means, even an expert can make mistakes sometimes.<br />

Habitat: wetlands <br />
Diet: omnivorous; as a kappa <br />
<br />
Appearance: <br />
Kappa are usually described as reptilian or amphibious creatures with features resembling turtles, frogs, or monkeys. Hane no haeta kappa, however, are a breed of kappa which bear a closer resemblance to chickens or pheasants. Their hind legs are clawed and bird-like, and instead of arms they have wings. Their bodies are covered in long, hair-like feathers, and they have long necks which can stretch.<br />
Behavior: <br />
Hane no haeta kappa live in wetlands such as ponds, marshes, and swamps. Despite their unusual appearance, they are very much like regular kappa.<br />
Interactions: <br />
Just as ordinary kappa are sometimes aggressive and dangerous towards humans, hane no haeta kappa are not without their dangers. These yōkai occasionally attack people—children in particular—who stray too close to their territory.<br />
Legends: <br />
A hane no haeta kappa was reported in the village of Yanagisawa (present-day Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) in the summer of 1840. The creature lived in a nearby pond and had attacked two children from the village. On June 26, the villagers drained the pond and captured the kappa. A report of the incident described the kappa as feathered and having the ability to stretch its neck. The report was accompanied by an illustration of the monster.<br />

<span style="font-size:130%;"> Pokémon (an abbreviation for Pocket Monsters in Japan) </span> <br />
is a Japanese media franchise managed by The Pokémon Company, a company founded by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. <br />
The franchise was created by <b>Satoshi Tajiri</b> in 1996, and is centered on fictional creatures called "Pokémon". <br />
In Pokémon, humans, known as Pokémon Trainers, catch and train Pokémon to battle other Pokémon for sport. All media works within the franchise are set in the Pokémon universe.
The English slogan for the franchise is "Gotta Catch ‘Em All!".<br />
There are currently 905 Pokémon species.<br />
The franchise began as Pocket Monsters: Red and Green (later released outside of Japan as Pokémon Red and Blue), a pair of video games for the original Game Boy handheld system that were developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo in February 1996. <br />
It soon became a media mix franchise adapted into various different media. Pokémon is estimated to be the highest-grossing media franchise of all time. The Pokémon video game series is the fourth best-selling video game franchise of all time with more than 380 million copies sold and one billion mobile downloads.<br />
The Pokémon video game series spawned an anime television series that has become the most successful video game adaptation of all time with over 20 seasons and 1,000 episodes in 183 countries. The Pokémon Trading Card Game is the highest-selling trading card game of all time with over 34.1 billion cards sold. <br />
In addition, the Pokémon franchise includes the world's top-selling toy brand, an anime film series, a live-action film (<b>Detective Pikachu</b>), books, manga comics, music, merchandise, and a temporary theme park. The franchise is also represented in other Nintendo media, such as the Super Smash Bros. series, where various Pokémon characters are playable. <br />

This tree is found in mountain valleys. The fruit of the tree looks like a human head. It doesn’t say a word, but it is constantly laughing. It is said that if the fruit laughs too heartily, it falls from the tree. <br />
According to the Edo period Hyakka Jiten encyclopedia <b>Wakan Sansai Zue</b> (和漢三才図会; <br />
<b>A Collection of Pictures of Heaven, Earth, and Man from China and Japan)</b>,<br />
the Jinmenju trees are found in the south, and the fruit of the tree is called the <i>jinmenshi</i>, or human-faced child. They ripen in the fall, and if you eat the fruit they have a sweet/sour taste. It is said that the Jinmenju seed also has a human face, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. It is possible that the trees were all eaten and it is why we don’t see them today. <br />
In the past however, it was said that people planted great orchards of the laughing Jinmenju. That must have been a beautiful sight.<br />
The legend of the Jinmenju comes from China, and was passed onto Japan where it was considered to be a yokai due to its peculiar nature. There are also stories of trees bearing human-faced fruit from India and Persia, usually with the faces of beautiful girls. Even now, when you walk through the forest you can see trees whose roots bear a resemblance to human and yokai faces. <br />

APPEARANCE: <br />
A kuro bōzu is a dark, shadowy yokai which looks somewhat like a bald-headed Buddhist monk—however, its exact appearance is vague and difficult to make out. It’s entire body is black, and it wears black robes. Its face has somewhat bestial features. It has a long tongue, and it reeks of rotting fish. Its hands and feet are said to be indiscernible. It can change its height rapidly, becoming a towering monster in an instant. It is extremely fast, and can run as fast as if it were flying.<br />

<span style="font-size:130%;"> The Nobiagari (のびあがり, ノビアガリ, Nobiagari) </span> <br />
is a yōkai that can take many forms, most commonly in that of a priest or a living shadow. <br>
The Nobiagari is known for creeping up behind people and, as soon as they turn around, growing quickly to a great height. This usually causes the person to look up too high and therefore fall over. <br />
Although the Nobiagari is mostly harmless and does this as a prank, some may take this opportunity to attack the victim's neck. <br />

A tsukumogami Yokai originating from the myth of an iron kettle which could predict one's fortune. <br />

<span style="font-size: 78%;">- quote</span><br />
<span style="font-size:130%;"> A Narikama (also called Narigama or Kamanari) </span> <br />
is one of Japanese yokai (ghosts, spirits and monsters) that was portrayed in Sekien TORIYAMA's yokai art collection book: "Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro" (The Bag of One Hundred Random Demons; the term 'hyakki' in its title is a pun on the usual hyakki, replacing the character for demon which is written as "鬼" in Japanese with a character for vessel written as "器," and sure enough, most of the yokais shown in this book are tsukumogami [a type of Japanese spirits that originate in items or artifacts that have reached their 100th birthday and become alive]). It is a kind of the tsukumogami (specters transmuted from objects). <br />
<b>- - - - - Summary</b> <br />
Sekien portrayed the Narikama as a hairy yokai, putting a kama (a metal pot) on and holding a votive picture tablet in his hands as if it is doing fortune-telling. It is allegedly originated from the Narukama Shinji Ritual, practiced in Kibitsu-jinja Shrine in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture. According to one legend, the ritual was started when an ogre named Ura or Onra, which had been killed by Kibitsuhiko no mikoto and become a deity to give divine messages to people through sounds of steam from an iron pot. Some say that the specter Narikama is this Ura portrayed as a tsukumogami of a kama based on the legend, thus depicting the kama as a specter. <br />
In a similar way, there are other tales of divination by sounds from a kama. A farmer dug up an iron pot in a cist. When the farmer boiled water with the iron pot, it might sound, and whenever the pot made some sounds, it always rained on that day. Then it is said that the iron pot became famous as a weather forecaster.<br />
Moreover, a <b>kama yokai </b>(metal pot specter) was portrayed in "Hyakki yagyo emaki" ('Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' picture scroll) in the Muromachi period, and the Narikama was supposedly modeled on it. <br />

In many rural areas of Japan, there are legends about a kettle or hearth that makes a noise. This is often not seen as anything special or auspicious.<br />
<br />
This penomen often happens in the New Year bewtwen the first <i>ne no hi</i> 子の日 day of the rat and <i>i no hi</i> 亥の日 day of the wild boar and is then seen as something bringing bad luck.
<br />
If a cattle starts making noise, a man has to wear woman's robes to make it stop. <br />

If a kettle starts making noise, people hang some new underwear of a woman on the lid to stop it. <br />

If the kettle in the kitchen makes a noise, on has to call out Banyo (Demon Hag). This will stop the fire below the kettle and bring good luck. <br />

Sometimes the kettle begins to make a noise while cooking rice for dinner. Sometimes the sound resembles that of a temple bell. Adjusting the fire it may sound like someone playing the lute. Sometimes the sound can be heard just three times and brings joy to those who hear it. <br />

When a local Sake dealer made rice wine and boiled rice in the large kettle, the kette started to make a noise like 「もんもん!もんもん!」<i> monmon mon mon</i> .<br />
This sound can be heared from close by and from far away. <br />
So the Sake dealer sold the kettle, but from that day on his business went down and bancrupt. <br />

Once a <i>shugenja</i> 修験者 mountain priest came to the town and performed a Kamanari ritual. <br />
He boiled water in a huge kettel, placed a large wooden bottle on it and placed a lit on it.<br />
Then he performed some ritual prayers and called out " Now, Kettle, begin to make a sound!" <br />
The kettle sounded in a high and deep voise and then stoped. <br />
(Some say it was the voice of the skillful priest . . . ) <br />

Amabie appeared in <b>Higo Province (Kumamoto </b>Prefecture) according to legend, around the middle of the 4th month, in the year Kōka-3 (mid-May, 1846) in the Edo era. A glowing object had been spotted in the sea, almost on a nightly basis. The town's official went to the coast to investigate, and witnessed the amabie. She had a mouth like bird's bill, and was covered in scales from the neck down. Addressing the official, she identified herself as an amabie and told him that she lived in the open sea. She went on to deliver a prophecy: "Good harvest will continue for six years,<br />
<b>if disease spreads show a picture of me to those who fall ill and they will be cured."</b> Afterwards, she returned the sea. The story was printed in the <i>kawaraban</i> (woodblock-printed bulletins), where her likeness was printed, and this is how the story disseminated in Japan.<br />
<br />
<b>- Similar yōkai</b><br />
A yōkai creature considered identical to Amabie is the merman named Amahiko (尼彦), which reputedly appeared in the sea of Higo Province. This Amahiko resembled Amabie in that it also made predictions of bountiful harvests or pestilence, and prescribed displaying the picture of his likeness in order to avoid catastrophe. The Amahiko Nyūdo (尼彦入道 "the amahiko monk") of Hyuga Province (Miyazaki prefecture) was another creature considered of the same kind, who appeared and pronounced his prophecy.<br />
<br />
A similar creature named Arie (アリエ) appeared in "Aoshima-gun" county, Higo Province, according to the Yamanashi Nichinichi Shinbun newspaper dated 17 June 1876, although this report has been debunked by another paper. The Yūbin Hōchi Shinbun dated 10 June 1876 also carried an article about Amahiko.<br />
<br />
The three creatures share these common characteristics: <br />
1) appearance from the sea, 2) prediction of good harvest and the plague, and 3) a solution of disaster by showing the apparition's picture, and on that account have been considered identical.<br />
<br />
The <b>Amahiko no Mikoto</b> (天日子尊 the holy Amahiko) was spotted in a rice paddy in Yuzawa, Niigata, as reported by the Tokyo Nichinichi shinbun dated 8 August 1875. <br />
The <b>Yamawarawa </b>(山童 the mountain child- Kappa) in the folklore of Amakusa is believed to haunt the mountains. Although neither of these last two emerge from sea, other similarities such as prophesying indicate they belong to the same kind.<br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;"> 下関・亀山八幡宮、アマビエ描いた御朱印郵送始める </span> <br />
新型コロナウイルスに対する不安を減らそうと、疫病退散に御利益があるとされる妖怪「アマビエ」を描いた御朱印が、山口県下関市中之町の亀山八幡宮で授与されている。御朱印は本来、参拝者に授与しているが、現在は境内に人が集まらないように希望者への郵送で対応している。<br />
アマビエは、うろこに覆われた胴体や、長髪が特徴の半人半魚の妖怪。江戸時代に現在の熊本県沖に現れ、「疫病が流行したときは私の姿を絵に描いて人々に見せよ」と言い残して海に消えたとされる。ウイルス感染が拡大する中、芸能人やイラストレーターが疫病退散を願って描いたイラストをネット上に投稿したり、各地でグッズや和菓子が生まれたりしている。 <br />
亀山八幡宮は「(感染を懸念して)参拝を控える人たちの不安な気持ちが少しでも落ち着けば」と、アマビエの御朱印を発案。神職の見習いに当たる出仕の大鳥居奨(つとむ)さん(23)が宿直の夜にイラストを描いた。図案はアマビエがフグを持っている姿で、神職の竹中信彦さん(45)は「届いたら神社の方向へお祈りして、終息したときに参拝していただければ。疫病が去って福が来ることを願います」と話した。<br />
フグを持つアマビエの御朱印<br />
アマビエの御朱印は、他の御朱印(初穂料500~1000円)と一緒に授与している。郵送の申し込みなど問い合わせは亀山八幡宮社務所(083・231・1323)。<br />

天草市の神社に、疫病から人々を守る熊本の妖怪とされる「アマビエ」をかたどった石像が祭られています。<br />
石像は、天草市有明町の大島子諏訪神社の境内に今月11日に祭られました。<br />
石像は高さ45センチで、墓石などに使われる灰色の「唐津石」を材料に、くちばしやうろこが立体的に作られていて、境内の参道横の、およそ1メートルの台座の上に祭られています。<br />
神社の山浦一男宮司によると、明治時代、赤痢などの疫病がはやったとき、地域の人々がこの神社のそばにあった石神のほこらにサカキを供えて祈ったという言い伝えがあり、今回も新型コロナウイルスの一日も早い終息を願って、神社に石像を祭ることにしたということです。<br />
参拝に訪れた人たちは、手を合わせたり頭をなでるなどして一日も早い終息を願っていました。<br />
大島子諏訪神社の山浦一男宮司は「かわいらしい石像を手でなでるなどして和んでいただいて、心も癒やしていただければと思います」と話していました。 <br />

In the past few weeks, as the international pandemic has led the people of Japan to quarantine themselves and practice social distancing, characters from supernatural folklore (yōkai), including one that has served as a symbol of epidemics since the 1840s, have experienced a sudden resurgence of popularity. <br />
For centuries, yōkai functioned as pre-scientific explanations for microbiological phenomena such as the decay of organic material, and several were specifically associated with illness. Arguably the earliest work of Japanese art that features such characters is the Scroll of Hungry Ghosts (Gaki zoshi, late 12th century). Interest in yōkai exploded during the 18th century, when the ukiyo-e print designer Toriyama Sekien (1712–1788) published his encyclopedic bestiary The Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons (Gazu hyakki yagyō, 1776). Not only did this publication enjoy astonishing commercial success in its own right, it also had a substantial influence upon the imagery of artists such as Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861).<br />

<b>'Amabie'-shaped bread popular amid outbreak</b><br />
Bread shaped like a mythical mermaid-like monster that folklore says repels plagues is proving popular in Japan as people hope for the end of the coronavirus outbreak.<br />
A cafe in the city of Uruma, <br />
Okinawa Prefecture, started selling the bread, which looks like Amabie, last month.<br />
The bread is made from locally-sourced ingredients, <br />
including yellow potato for the monster's long hair and beak, and red sweet potato for the body.<br />
The cafe has closed temporarily <br />
since early last month due to the outbreak. But orders have been pouring in from across the country after it began selling the product online.<br />
A representative of the cafe says <br />
she hopes the bread will make people smile and help boost their immunity so that the outbreak will end as soon as possible.<br />

Appearance: Y<br />
ogen no tori are prophetic birds which resemble two-headed crows. One of their heads is white. They can speak, and are sent by the gods to deliver important messages to humanity such as warnings about epidemics.<br />
Behavior: <br />
Like most prophetic yōkai, nothing is known of yogen no tori’s natural behavior, as they are only seen when there is an important message to deliver.<br />
Interactions: <br />
In addition to delivering an important message, yogen no tori are such holy animals that merely an image of them is enough to keep the evil spirits which cause disease away. Regularly looking at a picture of a yogen no tori is said to protect the viewer from harm.<br />
Origin: <br />
The story of the yogen no tori follows an Edo Period pattern of yokai warning about outbreaks and offering their image as protection. Contagious diseases like cholera are spread by invisible means, and for a long time there were no known cures or methods of protection against them. Amulets, talismans, and image of holy yōkai might not have done much to actually prevent sickness, but the willingness of people to cling to their promise of salvation is understandable.<br />
Legends: <br />
A serious cholera outbreak struck Japan in the summer of 1858. During the outbreak, a government official from Kai Province (Yamanashi Prefecture) named Kizaemon, discovered the legend of the yogen no tori and reported it in Bōshabyō ryūkō nikki, a journal detailing the outbreak.<br />
According to his report, a yogen no tori was sighted in December of 1857 near Mount Haku in Kaga Province (present-day Ishikawa Prefecture). The bird foretold, “Around August or September of next year, a disaster will occur, killing 90% of the world’s population. Those who gaze upon my image morning and night and believe in me will be spared from this suffering.”<br />
Kizaemon believed the yogen no tori to be a messenger from the gods. He declared it to be a symbol of the great power of Kumano Gongen. An illustration of the bird was printed alongside the report so people could see it and receive its protective powers. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A <b>dodomeki </b>(百々目鬼) is a Japanese yōkai </span><br />
that's depicted as human women who are cursed with having long arms covered with hundreds of bird eyes due to their habit of stealing money.<br />
It is also called the <b>todomeki</b>. <br />

<b>- - - - - Mythology</b><br />
Dodomeki were first described by the 18th century Japanese scholar <b>Toriyama Sekien</b>. <br />
The long arms of a dodomeki reflects the Japanese belief that a person with long arms has a tendency to steal. The bird eyes that grows on the dodomeki's arm are a reference to the Japanese <b>dōsen,</b> a copper coin with a hole in the middle of it that's commonly known as the chōmoku (Birds eye).<br />
<br />
<b>- - - - - Legends</b><br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Conflict with Fujiwara no Hidesato </span> <br />
During the Heian period, a kuge (court bureaucrat) named Fujiwara no Hidesato had just defeated the rebel <b>Taira no Masakado</b> and been promoted as the <i>kokushi </i>regent of the Shimotsuke province for his victory. One day while hunting in his newly acquired territory, Hidesato encountered an old man who warned him about a yōkai who had been terrorizing a nearby horse graveyard at night. Hidesato went to the horse graveyard to investigate and waited until sundown for the yōkai to appear. Once the yŏkai arrived, it revealed itself to be a <b>dodomeki </b>that stood over ten foot tall and had arms covered with hundreds of glowing eyes. Hidesato drew his bow and shot an arrow at the brightest glowing eye, causing the dodomeki to flee and collapse near Mount Myōjin. When Hidesato later pursued the yōkai, the dodomeki emitted a burst of flame from its body and a fume of poisonous gas from its mouth. Outmatched, Hidesato fled from the scene and returned the next day to find the ground heavily burnt, but no sign of the dodomeki.<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"> Meeting Priest Chitoku </span> <br />
Nearly 400 years later during the Muromachi period, a priest named 智徳 <b>Chitoku</b> was called to investigate a series of unexplained fires that broke out at the temple in a village near Mount Myōjin. He started to notice a woman covered with a robe near the temple whenever he held his sermons and discovered that she was the same dodomeki that Hidesato had fought 400 years earlier. She had come back to suck up her remaining toxic fumes and blood that she lost during her last battle with Hidesato.<br />
The temple was built on top of the battle site, so the dodomeki caused a series of fires to scare all the priests away. However, after consistently overhearing Chitoku preaching whenever she walked by the temple, the dodomeki became enlightened and vowed to never commit any more evil deeds for the rest of her life. <br />

In Japanese folklore, a dodomeki is a large spirit that's covered with hundreds of bird eyes. <br>
Its chief hobby is using its long arms to steal money.<br />

百目鬼<br />
ーーー 兎田の百目鬼<br />
大曽(宇都宮市大曽)を通りかかった藤原秀郷(ふじわらのひでさと)のもとにふしぎな老人が現われ「大曽村の北西にある兎田という馬捨場[3]にゆけ」と告げたので向かったところ、十丈はあろうかという大きさで、百の目をもつ刃のような髪の鬼が姿を見せたので、弓を射って退治したとされる。矢を受けて去った百目鬼は明神山で倒れたが毒気と炎を放ちつづけ、本願寺(宇都宮市塙田)の智徳(ちとく)という僧の法力によって成仏をするまで人々を困らせていたという。<br />
ーーー 百穴の百目鬼<br />
長岡の百穴には昔、百匹の鬼を従えた鬼が棲んでいたが「鬼のような世界からは出たい」と発願。本願寺(宇都宮市塙田)に通って仏門に帰依した結果、人間に生まれ変わることが出来た。百匹の鬼の頭目だったことに由来して「百目鬼」という地名がついたとされる[1][4]。本願寺に人間になった百目鬼が感謝のしるしとして置いていった親指の爪と水晶の数珠が残されているという[4]。<br />

縁結び歓喜天 Enmusubi Kankiten<br />
身代り地蔵尊 Migawari Jizo and others<br />
- The three Oni statues (red, blue and black) were maybe made by 左甚五郎 Hidari Jingoro or by Jocho (? - 1057).<br />
戦後、閻魔大王の縁日の16日に合わせ、1月と8月の16日に縁日がひらかれてにぎわったが、この鬼は閻魔大王に仕える地獄の獄卒ではなく、江戸と日光を往来する修験行者によって尊崇されたヤマの守護神と推察される。ちなみに、広島県宮島の弥山に「三鬼堂」があり福徳・知恵・降伏を司る三鬼大権現が祀られ、同じく麓の大聖院(真言宗御室派)の摩尼殿にも祀られている。 <br />

「酒屋荒し」の鬼<br />
昔々ある冬の晩、お寺の近くの酒屋に大男が来て「酒をくれ」と大きな徳利を出しました。びっくりした酒屋の主人が、大徳利にあふれるほど酒を注いで渡すと、大男は小銭をおいて暗い夜道に消えていきました。<br />
あくる朝主人がその小銭をたしかめると、土間に木の葉が数枚落ちているだけでした。次の晩もその次の晩も同じことが起きたので、奇妙に思った主人はこっそり大男の後をつけていったのですが、お寺の境内で見失ってしまいました。<br />
このことをお寺の住職におそるおそる相談したところ、三鬼堂の赤鬼・青鬼・黒鬼のうちまん中の青鬼が酒の臭いのすることがわかりました。そこで酒屋の主人はある日近所の男たちの力を借り、お寺の三鬼堂に上りこみ青鬼を鉄のクサリで縛ってしまいました。それからというもの、その酒屋に大男があらわれなくなりました。<br />
<br />
.......................................................................<br />
「鬼門除け」の話<br />
この三鬼尊は、江戸時代に当地の都賀郡部屋村富吉の石塚家から当山に寄進されたと伝えられています。石塚家には立派な長屋門があり、その階上部分に祀られていたといいます。しかし、石塚家から当山に寄進された理由はさだかではありません。<br />
部屋村では、古くから巴波川(うずまがわ)の舟運河岸が栄え、渡良瀬川・利根川・荒川を経由して江戸との交易がさかんに行われました。大きな荷物はこの部屋村で陸揚げし、中小の荷は小舟で巴波川を上り栃木の町(今の入舟町河岸)まで運ばれました。<br />
栃木の町は部屋村の上流、北東の方角に当ります。北東は丑寅(うしとら)の方角、つまり鬼門です。部屋村では毎年のように巴波川の出水に見舞われ、家屋が水に浸かったり、実った稲が全滅する年もありました。巴波川の出水は部屋村の人々にとって最大の災いでした。この災いを除くため、三鬼尊が鬼門の方角にある栃木町の当山に寄進され、「鬼門除け」とされたとしても不思議ではありません。<br />
<br />
.......................................................................<br />
「山の霊鬼」の話<br />
当山の開祖朝海法印は山に入って厳しい修行を行う修験僧でした。開創以来、当山は修験道のご祈祷を行う真言寺院で、日光の山や峰での修行に向う行者さんの宿泊所になっていたにちがいありません。<br />
部屋村の石塚家は大きな屋敷をもった名家だったそうで、舟運でこの地にやってくる人の宿にもなり宿泊者のなかには修験の行者もいて、長屋門に祀られている三鬼尊を旅や修行の守り神として敬拝していたことは想像に難くありません。<br />
当山と石塚家の縁をつないだのは、方角や吉凶運などに詳しいこの修験の行者たちに相違なく、部屋村の人々の洪水の悩みを聞き、巴波川上流の栃木町(鬼門の方角)で彼らの宿になっている当山に三鬼尊を寄進することを人々に勧め、自分らが背負って舟で運んだものと思われます。<br />
この場合の三鬼尊とは、山を神仏として敬う人たちが、住む里に山の恵みをもたらす「山の霊鬼(霊力)」のことで、前日光・古峰神社の天狗にも通じます。<br />

beats out organized voting to win grand prix title at annual mascot contest<br />
<br />
OSAKA – <br />
Kaparu from Shiki, a city in Saitama Prefecture, won the 2018 Yuru-kyara Grand Prix (Soft Character Grand Prix) title in the regional division on Sunday.<br />
<br />
With the motif of the mythical kappa, or water goblin, the mascot for the city’s public corporation to promote culture and sports garnered 889,346 votes to beat two municipal mascots that were supported by organized votes in the poll.<br />
<br />
The results of the vote were announced at Hanazono Central Park in Higashiosaka, Osaka Prefecture.<br />
<br />
It was discovered that the first runner-up, <br />
<b>Ja-Bo, from Omuta, Fukuoka Prefecture</b>, and the third pick,<br />
<b>Konyudo-kun, from Yokkaichi in Mie Prefecture</b>, <br />
were supported by municipal workers and others who voted many times using a huge number of multiple voting IDs. Ja-Bo garnered 843,682 votes and Konyudo-kun 807,592 received votes.<br />
<br />
Yokkaichi’s mascot came first in a preliminary tally, after the municipal government distributed over 10,000 IDs to its 4,000 workers. But after stopping accepting ballots, the event organizing committee deleted what appeared to be organized votes and announced the final results.<br />
<br />
Yokkaichi Mayor Tomohiro Mori told reporters that the surviving 800,000 ballots were full of citizens’ wishes for Konyudo-kun’s victory.<br />
<br />
Shuichiro Nishi, chairman of the committee, pointed out that organized votes are seen every time. “Achieving top rankings should not be set as an ultimate goal,” Nishi said. “Regional revitalization is a product of constant efforts after the contest.”<br />
<br />
“Only five staff members and some part-timers took charge (of <b>Kaparu’s election campaign</b>),” said Hanako Gondawara of the Shiki Culture and Sports Promotion Corp.<br />
<br />
“Because we could not rely on organized votes, I never imagined we could win,” she said.<br />
<br />
This year’s contest saw participation by 909 mascots from across the country.<br />
<br />
Besides online voting, 38,348 visitors to the contest venue at the park cast ballots, each of which was equivalent to three online votes.<br />

In Yokohama and Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, the Chiba Prefecture, and Tokyo etc., they would visit people's homes on the 8th day of the 12th month and the 8th day of the 2nd month on the lunisolar calendar, and they are said to borrow sieves and human's eyes. They are said to visit people's home together with a <b>hitotsume-kozō.。</b><br />

<br />
In order to avoid a mikaribaba, one would leave a basket or zaru at the entrance of the home, and it is said to be effective to put the tip of a rod into the bamboo basket and make it stand on the ridge of the house's roof. It is said that this is in order to make the one-eyed mikaribaba make it seem like as if there were plenty of eyes (stitches).<br />
<br />
At the Ura no Yato, Toriyama town, Kōhoku-ku, Yokohama, an avaricious mikaribaba would even come to collect grains of rice that have fallen on the ground, and would cause fires due to the fire in its mouth. In order to avoid this, there is the custom of making a dango called the ツヂョー団子 <b>"tsujoo dango"</b> made from the rice left over from the garden, and put it in the doorway, as a means of saying that there is no more rice to collect.<br />
<br />
On the 8th day of the 12th month and the 8th day of the 2nd month on the lunisolar calendar, there is a folk practice called <b>Kotoyōka,</b> and in the past, there were many regions where people would not do any work and confine themselves in their homes. <br />
In the southern part of Chiba Prefecture, on the 26th day of the 11th month of the lunisolar calendar, as a period of about 10 days of seclusion in the home called <b>"mikawari" or "mikari," </b>when it would be taboo to go outside at night or enter the mountains and spend the time in the home quickly avoiding any big noise, lights, hairdressing, or entering bath. <br />
Outside of the Kantō region, at Nishinomiya Shrine in the Hyōgo Prefecture and Kito, Tokushima Prefecture (now Naka), there is a practice of confinement to the house before the festival called "mikari." Rituals like these of secluding oneself in the home have been interpreted as seclusion at home due the appearance of a monster, and it is thought that those monsters are the mikaribaba and the hitotsume-kozō. <br />
It is also said that "mikari" comes from <b>"mikawari"</b> (身変わり), indicating a time different from usual when one observes the practice of confinement at home.<br />

The first day of the 12th lunar month is called <b>hanayogore no tsuitachi</b> ハナヨゴレの朔日 in some suburbs.<br />
Mikari Basan comes on this day.<br />

When Mikare Basan was on her way to 佐江戸<b> Saedo </b>(in Yokohama 横浜市都筑区), she came to the river 恩田川 Ondagawa and fell under the bridge 落合橋 Ochiaibashi.<br />
Since then she never went to Saedo again. <br />

Hassaku means August 1 according to the lunar calendar. <br />
At the Hassaku Festival of the 日吉神社 <b>Hiyoshi Shrine </b>located in Shinjo, young men pray for a good harvest and run all over carrying the barrel mikoshi portable shrine and singing the Hassaku Ondo. They then dedicate it to the shrine. Moreover, the main attraction of the festival is <b>the Riot Tengu </b>(a long-nosed goblin). <br />
The Tengu chases after young women and children by showing “the symbol of a man” slightly from his clothes. The symbol is made of wood. <br />
It is said to be the most unusual festival in Fukui Prefecture. <br />

八朔とは旧暦8月朔日のことで、月遅れの9月1日を指します。美浜町新庄の日吉神社では、その9月1日に八朔(はっさく)祭が行われます。村を東と西に分け、午前は東で午後は西がそれぞれ行います。<br />
朱塗りの大角樽を棒に吊り下げ、担ぎながら神前に奉納するとき、オドケと呼ばれる仮装した青年も行列に参加し、天狗がその先頭をつとめます。「山神句」といわれる音頭に笛や太鼓で囃しながら行列を組んで村中を練り歩きます。「今年豊年穂に穂が咲いて、道の千草も米がなる」と八朔音頭を唄います。<br />
天狗は大きな木製の男根を持ち、見物人の女性にその男根をつきつけます。それに触れると良い子どもがうまれると言われており、かつては八朔襦袢(はっさくじゅばん)といわれる軽装一枚で暴れまわり、樽にはドブロクを詰めて供えてみんなに振舞っていたので、「ドブロク祭」とも言われていました。<br />
この美浜町新庄の八朔祭は、福井県内では、"一番エッチな祭"だといわれています。<br />
午前も午後も天狗が飛び出して暴れまわり、衣の間に木でこしられた長さ50cm、太さ8cmほどの「男のシンボル」をちらつかせながら、見物している女性や、子どもを追っかけまわす、 天狗が持つ男根で突いてもらうと 良い児が生まれて稲の花がつつがなく交配され、今年は豊年万作である」と昔の人たちは考えていたのだと思います。天狗がちらつかせながら女性たちをつつきまわる "男のシンボル"に、今年の豊作の願いをこめているのです。 <br />

In the village 瀬村 Semura they prepare a large mask of a Tengu for the festival and carry it around the village, beating drums and gongs and walk deep into the forest.<br />
This will appease the Tengu, who had come to eat humans and animals and caused great damage in former times. <br />

Welcome to the annual cursing festival in Ibaraki Prefecture, where young and old are encouraged to verbally abuse<b> 13 monks dressed as tengu</b> (long-nosed goblin). Meanwhile, the people gathered around the tengu have a tug-of-war over what looks like a bamboo mat used to roll sushi with a small prize inside. Whoever manages to pry the mat from the other desperate contestants’ hands, according to the Atago shrine, will be lucky in the year to come. <br />
Cursing is welcome here, so spit all that stress out on the last days of the year. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Nobusuma</span></b> are a type of animal-spirit from Japanese mythology and like most spirits classified as yokai they were once ordinary animals who, upon reaching a great age, were bestowed supernatural powers and new forms by which to live on as lesser deities and/or spirits that haunt the world.<br />
Nobusuma, <br />
despite appearing as flying squirrels, were original bats but tansformed into their current form upon becoming yokai and while primarily seed and fruit-eaters like common squirrels they have also developed unusual tastes for fire and blood.<br />
As such the Nobusuma will attack and kill cats to drain their blood as well as other small animals, they will also ambush humans who are travelling at night and latch onto their faces, either biting and drinking the victim's blood much like vampires or trying to get them to drop their lanterns so they may consume the fire within.<br />
Nobusuma, <br />
while born of ancient bats, are simply the start of an even more frightening transformation and should Nobusuma reach an old age themselves they may change into either the Momonjii or the Yamachichi. <br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;"> . . . ALTERNATE NAME: <b>tobikura</b> (<b>flying warehouse</b>) </span> <br />
HABITAT:<br />
forests and mountains<br />
DIET:<br />
primarily blood; also fire, nuts, fruit and berries<br />
APPEARANCE: <br />
A bat which lives to a very old age develops magical powers and changes into a yokai known as a nobusuma. They look almost identical to musasabi, or Japanese giant flying squirrels, although they are much more dangerous.<br />
BEHAVIOR: <br />
Nobusuma eat nuts, fruit, and berries, but also feed on fire, and by sucking blood from humans and small animals (such as cats). They attack travelers walking the roads at night. They swoop down from the trees onto the faces of their unsuspecting victims, latch on, and begin sucking blood. When they do not need to feed, they simply swoop down and blow out lanterns and torches, flying back up into the night sky with a creepy cry that goes, “gaa gaa!”<br />
ORIGIN: <br />
While nobusuma are born from long-lived bats, the transformation does not stop there. <br />
Once a nobusuma reaches a very old age, it transforms again, either into a <b>yamachichi</b> or a <b>momonjii</b>.<br />
This yokai should not be confused with the nobusuma (野襖) from Kochi prefecture, whose name is pronounced the same but is actually a variety of a different yokai called<i> nurikabe</i>. <br />

The folklorist 柳田國男 <b>Yanagida Kunio</b> wrote;<br />
In Tokyo, Nobusuma is seen as a 鼯鼠 Momonga or 蝙蝠 Komori. In some regions of Japan it is just called 衾 Fusuma. <br />
It sneaks up on a person and covers its eyes and mouth. <br />

Is someone walks alone in the evening or at night, the Nobusuma appears like a wall in front of him, spreading in all directions, obstructing the way. <br />
If a person keeps its cool, waits by the roadside and chews some tobacco, the Yokai will disappear. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pine and bamboo 松 竹は「鬼の木」</span> are trees which the Oni dislike most. <br />
<b>'Pine lasts for 1000 years and bamboo for 10,000 years' </b><br />
is an old Japanese proverb. Pine and bamboo are popular materials for kadomatsu because people wish that Yorishiro, the place in which the deity lives, will last forever. <br />

On the island 薩南大島 Satsunan <b>Oshima</b> people put out Kadomatsu for the New Year. <br />
Once upon a time, <br />
an Oni had come down from the sky to haunt the island, but the villagers caught him and bound him to a pine tree. The strong Oni pulled out the tree and run away. They caught him again and bound him again to a pine tree, this time so strong that he could not run away. Since that time the Oni are afraid of pine trees.<br />

they put up a Kadomatsu with bamboo in the middle, so that the Oni hurt his stomach when climbing on it, and the Oni died.<br />

<br />
On the island 加計呂麻島 <b>Kakeroma</b> they put out Kadomatsu with bamboo. <br />
The villagers know that once an Oni hurt his stomach when climbing on it, and the Oni died.<br />
Once upon a time, the villagers had tied a rabbit to the Kadomatsu pine tree. The oni came and pulled the tree out with its roots. The villagers followed the imprints of the roots on the ground and could eventually get the rabbit back. <br />
Since then the Oni are afraid when they see a pine tree and do not come close to a home with such a decoration. <br />
<br />
Once a villager got up early in the morning on the first day of the New Year. He saw three strange black clouds in the sky. <br />
This was the figure of an Oni who had turned up to heaven in great fear when seeing the Kadomatsu in front of a home. <br />

For the<b> Setsubun ritual</b> (the former New Year ritual), people used to put out a holly branch with the head of a sardine to ward off the Oni. <br />
When making a Kadomatsu, they used two strong stakes, a bamboo basket with many "eyes", a black pot hanger and a branch of <i>hiiragi</i> 柊 holly. The beans for throwing had to be roasted very well. <br />

The zodiac animals associated with this 北東の方角 Northeastern region are <br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: 130%;"><b>Kimon, the "Demon Gate" 鬼門</b>, </span><br />
<b>Chinese geomancy</b> (Ch: feng shui), a system for determining auspicious or inauspicious placements and orientations of cities, temples, houses, and graves. In Chinese thought, the <b>northeast quarter is considered to be particularly inauspicious.</b> The northeast direction is known as the "demon gate," which can be loosely translated as the place where "demons gather and enter." This belief was imported by the Japanese and is referred to as <b>Kimon (literally "Demon Gate").</b><br />
<i>Kimon</i> generally means ominous direction, or taboo direction. In Japan, both the monkey and the fox are guardians against evil Kimon influences.<br />

This pass used to be called <b>gakidoo</b> 餓鬼道 the Road of the Hungry Ghosts. <br />
In former times, the warlords 武田信玄 <b>Takeda Shingen</b> and 北条氏康 <b>Hojo Ujiyasu</b> used to fight for this pass. Many of their soldiers did not get enough food and staved on the road. <br />
Their hungry souls now haunt the place. <br />

<b>The Mt. Onidake Volcanic group</b> on the south coast of Fukue Island was formed by a muzzle volcano erupting 50 thousand years ago on top of a shield volcano that had erupted five million years ago. This group is made up of the mountains Onidake, Hinotake, Shirodake, Minodake, and Usudake. <br />
The central mountain, Onidake, is an unusual mountain <b>covered with mountain grass instead of trees</b> because the top is burned once every three years. It is the main sightseeing area for Fukue since guests can see the main business area of the city, the surrounding islands, and Fukue port. <br />

Once upon a long time ago, in the village of 小栗村 Ogurimura in 諌早 Isahaya (長崎県 Nagasaki) there lived a farmer couple who did not have children.<br />
They went to mount 八天嶽 Hattendake to pray. And then a Tengu came at night . . . well well, the woman got pregnant and bore a strong son. <br />
The boy named Taizo became a strong Sumo wrestler. The Tengu trained him the best he could. Taizo won all the bouts in his village.<br />
Taizo eventually went to Edo and nobody could defeat him. Taizo almost won against the strongest Sumo wrestler in Edo, 鬼ヶ岳<b> Onigadake</b>, but Onigadake had asked him to let him win, so Taizo lost this one bout (and thus his Tengu power) and then all the other bouts after that and went home much ashamed. <br />
Sometimes the villagers could hear a boulder (ゴットン石<b> Gotton Ishi</b>) rumble at Mount Hattendake, where Taizo was practicing Sumo with al his former might. He could lift the boulder and carry it to the summit in no time. <br />

There are various legends along the Koshu Kaido. <br />
Even <b>Momotaro, the Peach Boy</b>, was here!<br />
This story is basically fun with the pun words.<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">桃太郎伝説もある甲州街道 </span> <br />
<br />
From the mountain in the North of the road, called 百蔵山 <b>Momokurayama</b> (momo 百 is a pun with momo 桃, the peach) the peach came rolling down the river. It was picked up at 鶴島 <b>Tsurushima </b> (Tsurukawa) in 上野原 Uenohara. From this peach Momotaro was born. When he grew up, he got his helpers, the dog from 犬目 <b>Inume</b>, the 雉 pheasant (bird) from 鳥沢 <b>Torizawa</b> and the monkey from 猿橋 <b>Saruhashi</b>.<br />
<br />
They went to Mount 九鬼山 <b>Kukiyama </b>(Mountain of the nine demons) in 大月南方 Otsuki-South <br />
and to Mount 岩殿山 <b>Iwatonosan, Iwadonosan</b> in 大月北方 Otsuki-North to drive away the demons.<br />
One of the demons was wounded and bleeding, so now at the shrine 子神神社 <b>Nenokami Jinja</b> there can be found red soil, remains of the demon's blood.<br />
<br />

Another legend tells of the nine Demons having a quarrel among themselves and drove out some <br />
<b>Aka-Oni</b> 赤鬼 <b>Red Demons</b>. <br />
They fled and begun to live on 岩殿山 <b>Mount Iwatonosan</b>, 634 m.<br />
Again they disturbed and pestered the farmers and eventually Momotaro came to get them. He killed them all and their blood tainted the earth around all red. <br />
Their tears became the river 浅利川 <b>Asarigawa</b>, which eventually flows into the river 桂川 Katsuragawa. <br />
<br />
Now it is a region famous for its cherry trees and azaleas. <br />

Mount Onigadake has a rock on its top which looks like the tsuno 角 <b>horn of an Oni.</b> <br />
In former times two wicked Oni used to live on this mountain.<br />
The mountain priest 役行者 <b>En no Gyoja</b> banned these two with a special paralyzing spell, 不動金縛り<b> Fudo no Kanashibari</b>. They could not move any more and eventually became aware of their bad deeds.<br />
The demons changed their ways and became famous disciples of En no Gyoja:<br />

At the graveyard, a bluish fire-light was seen every night. The villagers were afraid, thinking it was the soul of a villager and did not even dare to pass the road during daytime.<br />
玉吉 Tamakichi wanted to see it for himself and went out one evening, carrying 地神の魂の扇 a hand fan with the soul of the Jigami in one hand. When he reached the graveyard, he could see the bluish light. While fanning with his hand fan he went closer. The ground of the grave was still fresh so Tamakich started to dig, found the coffin bound with a cord and pulled it up.<br />
But it was not a coffin but a <i>hookei </i>包茎 (the dictionary says: a phallus with phimosis).<br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;">Tōdaiki “spirit candlestick” </span> <br />
... According to Sekien, long ago, a government minister named <b>Karu no Daijin </b>was sent on a mission to Tang China. This was a period of great movement of culture and ideas between China and Japan, so nothing is strange about that. However, when the envoy failed to return to Japan long after they were overdue, the minister’s son, <b>Hitsu no Saishō</b>, began to worry. <br />
<br />
Hitsu no Saishō traveled to China to search for his missing father. He traveled far and wide, and in one particular location he came across something he had never seen before: a tōdaiki — a candlestick fashioned out of a living human being! By some combination of strange drugs and sorcery, the man’s ability to speak had been removed. His body was covered in tattoos, and a large candle had been placed in his head. He had been installed on a fancy little stand like a piece of furniture.<br />
<br />
As Hitsu no Saishō looked in puzzlement at the strange sight, the human candlestick began to shed tears. Unable to speak, the man bit into he tip of his finger until it began to bleed. He scrawled out a few characters in his own blood. Upon reading them, Hitsu no Saishō realized in horror: the tōdaiki was his own father who he had come to China to search for! <br />
<br />

<br />
The people involved in this story are real. <br />
Hitsu no Saishō was the nickname of <b>Fujiwara no Arikuni,</b> a Heian period noble who lived from 943-1011 CE. Although the story about the tōdaiki is a fabrication, it’s an interesting example of where fact and folklore intersect. Because this early urban legend involved real people who were well known to educated readers, it gives the story much more weight. <br />
