- kokeshi 河童こけし wooden dolls with Kappa -

Many people believe that early kokeshi were representations of girl children that were aborted or put to death after childbirth due to the inability to support a poor family of greater size.
Even the word, ko-keshi (ko o kesu　子を消す), can be loosely translated as "extinguished child" or “a child wiped out”.

It may be that kokeshi were kept as reminders of a dead child's plaything. Kokeshi are also given as charms to childless women in an effort to get pregnant. Kokeshi were kept in the family and passed down from generation to generation.

Medochi　メドチ，　めどち - a kind of mizuchi
The medochi use human females to have them bear their children. When the child is born, the Medochi comes to claim his child. If the woman throws the baby into the water to kill it, Medochi takes the bones with him.

Futaba dolls

新先生一代記

Maybe this river monster was once a Tengu and retained the part in the name of
ShibaTEN 芝天.
SHIBA シバ can also relate to the famous dog race, Shiba ken 柴犬.

Hariko papermachee dolls of the Shibaten kappa were given to children to protect them from river accidents.

. Legends about Tengu doing Sumo wrestling .

.......... Legends about Tengu in Ehime 愛媛県 .

shibaten シバテン / shiba tengu 柴天狗 Shiba Tengu, Shibatengu
Like a Kappa, he hangs around rivers, asks people to have a wrestling bout and begins to confuse their minds.
But he never goes into the river himself, so he is not a real Kappa.

In the village of 面河村 Omogo in the 上浮穴郡 Kamiukena district, there is a Shiba-Tengu. He is about 115 cm high and his nose is a bit smaller that that of a long-nosed Tengu. He is crazy about Sumo wrestling. If people pass along his river, he makes the sound of an ax cutting a tree and invents other deeds to scare people.
If people hear the sound of カーンカーン kaan-kaan and the falling down of a tree, they know the Shibaten is near.

............................................................................... Kochi 高知県　

Shibaten シバテン / Shiba Tengu 芝天狗
has a plate on his head like a Kappa. His eyes are rather large and his nose is sticking out.
In Tosa he is said to be just like a Kappa.

幡多郡 Hata district 大月町 Otsuki

At the slope ヒロイアゲの坂 Hiroiage no Saka on the mountain path up to the shrine 月山神社 Tsukiyama Jinja a bald priest came out and asked for a bout of Sumo wrestling. The priest was very strong and about to win, when the villager bit him in the shoulder. Suddenly the mountain made a huge sound and the priest changed in Shiba Tengu.

高知県幡多郡大月町月ヶ丘1443 / Tsukigaoka Saitsuno, Ōtsuki-chō, Hata-gun, Kōchi

During the 白鳳時代 Hakuho period (645 - 710) 役の行者（役小角） En no Gyoja found a sacred rock in the form of a mikkazuki 三日月 new moon and prayed there.
The rock is dedicated to the Shinto deity Uganomitama 倉稲魂命 Ukano Mitama.
Later 空海弘法大師 Kukai Kobo Daishi passed here and prayed there for 23 days and nights.
In the Meiji period, the shrine was made into a temple, named 守月山月光院南照寺, with 勢至菩薩 Seishi Bosatsu as the Buddhist deity.

The rock used to be at a place called hime no i 媛の井 / 姫ノ井 "well of the princess" and moved with supernatural powers to its present location. Thus it got more and more spiritual power and people come to pray and make wishes.

長岡郡 Nagaoka district

Shibaten 芝天
If Shibaten comes for a bout of Sumo, he usually wins by throwing the human on the ground.
Sometimes humans try to impersonate Shibaten to enjoy some Sumo with others.
If people eat 鰌 Dojo loach alive, they will become able to see Shibaten.

夫婦河童の道祖神 Kappa Couple as Wayside Gods
from lake Megamiko 女神湖, Akanuma 赤沼
Nagano 長野県北佐久郡立科町

赤沼(女神湖)に居た河童が、一夜にして作って移り住んだ伝説のある池
A pond

Once upon a time
昔々、立科村の赤沼池（現在の女神湖・・蓼科山麓の女神湖は沼地を利用した人造湖）に河童(河童太郎)が住んでいたそうな

石の上に座って人が通ると小指を引っ掛けあって引っ張る鍵っ引き（一種の力比べ）を挑んだ。
大抵の人はそのまま沼に引き込まれてしまう。
この話(悪ふざけ)を聞いた諏訪頼遠なる剛胆な人物(侍)が、大力を出して河童(河童太郎)を小指で吊り上げた。
しかし大変心の優しいお侍さんは、退治する代わりに赤沼の池を去ることを条件に命を助けてやった。
恐れ入った河童太郎は和田宿の山(野々入)に池を作り、一夜で逃げていったという。
この池で河童を見かけたという村人が多くいて、この池は何時しか赤沼の河童が一晩で作った池---- 「夜の池」（よのいけ）と呼ばれるようになった。

何処からか連れ合いを見つけ夫婦仲良くおとなしく暮らしていると言う。
今でもこの池にそっと近づくと、水面で遊ぶ　仲の良い河童夫婦の姿　を見ることが出来るという。
