Its capital is Yamagata city.
During the Heian Period (794–1185), the Fujiwara (藤原) family ruled the area. Yamagata City flourished during the Edo Period (1603–1867) due to its status as a castle town and post station, famous for beni (red safflower dye used in the production of handspun silk). In 1689, the famous haiku poet, Matsuo Bashō visited Yamagata during his five-month trip to the northern regions of Japan.

Legend about the Kappa living in river Mogamigawa 最上川に住む河童

Once upon a time
there lived a village headman at the banks of river Mogamigawa - and he had a very beautiful daughter!
She was his only daughter and he loved her so very much and cared for her lovingly.
But one day all of a sudden her face became all pale green and she got worse every day.
He called a doctor to cure her, but he did not know the reason for her illness. And the girl herself also did not know what had gotten into her all of a sudden.

So the desparate father went to the miko 巫女 Shinto shrine shaman lady to have a look at the girl. The miko knew the answer:
"This is the deed of a Kappa. Seems a Kappa has taken a fancy to your daughter. If you can get hold of a skilfull Buddhist priest, he can perform a ritual of "Cutting off the Road" (michi kiri 道切) to catch the Kappa."

So the village headman went to an old temple and asked the priest to perform the exorcism rites 道切りの呪文.
The priest went to the river Mogamigawa, from where the Kappa made his entry into the village, and began his prayers and chanting.
As he was praying, the waters receeded very fast.

"Let go of the spell you put onto the headman's daughter, old Kappa!
Bring us a written statement 証文 that you will never harm anyone in this village and leave it here until tomorrow morning. If you do not comply, I will take away all the water of this river!"

When the priest called out his request, there was a feeble answer from the river:
"Ok, Ok, please wait until tomorrow morning!"

From the next morning on, the daughter was free of the evil spell and beautiful as ever.
And at the front gate of the temple where the priest lived there was a scroll with the promise of the Kappa.

It seems this scroll is still held in honor at a temple in Takahata.
Just to think that there was a priest who could retract all the water of the river Mogamigawa!

The Japanese Festival Where Demons Beat Up Kids with Sticks


- CLICK for more photos !

In a small town in Hiroshima called 小屋浦 Koyaura, the third weekend of every October is the autumn festival. A festival the children of the town dread.
..... Terrifying demons known as マッカ（赤鬼）‘Makka’ (all red) chase the children of the town and when he catches them they get a savage hit with a stick.
Sometimes the demon will also attempt to kidnap the child.
The only thing that can abate the demon is if the child promises to be good from now on. Parents even willingly give their child up to be beaten and kidnapped.
This tradition, native to Koyaura is over 100 years old. ...

- quote -
The Demon Festival has been carried on since around 940 in the Heian period (794-1192)
and was designated a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property in 1980.
On the festival eve (Feb.10), it's started with Iwato-no-mai dance.
The heros and heroines of this day are boys and girls.
The main event of this festival is called "Aka-oni to Tengu no Karakai /rivalry between Aka-oni (Red Demon) and Tengu (long-nosed goblin)".
(literal meaning of karakai is raillery, but it's totally rivalry)
The story performed by the red demon and Tengu has come from Japanese mythology.
A destructive god ( Susanoo-no-mikoto = red demon) appeared in Takamagahara (lit. "high heavenly plain", where gods live) and destroyed the granaries.
A god of martial arts (Sarutahiko-no-mikoto = Tengu) fought to chasten and straighten him out.
Then all the gods felt happy and danced kagura.
People innovated dengaku performances, which soaked up this story, to a Shinto ritual festival, and to pray for a rich harvest and prosperity.
Aka-oni walks zigzag (Zigzag walking symbolizes lightning. Lightning is caused by Oni on a cloud by the Japanese folk tales)
***
During the climax of this festival,
Red Demon repeatedly provokes battle with Tengu, but is defeated.
He escapes from the shrine yard and runs around the town scattering tankiri-ame (candies made from grain powders) and white grain powder over the visitors to drive out the evil.
Kuro-oni (Black Devil = Ame-no-koyame-no-mikoto of the mythology) fills the role of judge.
It is said that if you are showered with this powder or eat tankiri-ame, you will not get ill during the summer.
Lots of visitors are excited to get tankiri-ame and a powder shower.

Te 修正会 Shusho-E ritual in the night of the fifth day of the New Year.
Demons who live on the sea off Takezaki and the demon masks which are kept prisoner in a box (onibako 鬼箱) in the Kannon Hall try to get out on the fifth day of the New Year and call out to each other to overthrow the island. To prevent this, the villagers have to shout even louder to protect their island - the orabigoe おらび声 heavenly voice.
The villagers are only clad in a fundoshi ふんどし loincloth, so this is a famous hadaka matsuri 裸祭 naked vestival.


If someone opens this Onibako, hes eyes will get sick soon or he will get a high fever. So nobody ever dared to open this box.

- Miyagi 宮城県 -



A prefecture of Japan in the Tōhoku region on Honshu island.
The capital is Sendai.
Miyagi Prefecture was formerly part of the province of Mutsu. 陸奥国 Mutsu Province, on northern Honshu, was one of the last provinces to be formed as land was taken from the indigenous Emishi, and became the largest as it expanded northward. The ancient capital was at Taga-jō in modern Miyagi Prefecture.

In the third month of second year of the Wadō era (709), there was an uprising against governmental authority in Mutsu Province and in nearby Echigo Province. Troops were promptly dispatched to subdue the revolt.

During the Sengoku period various clans ruled different parts of the province. The Uesugi clan had a castle town at Wakamatsu in the south, the Nambu clan at Morioka in the north, and Date Masamune, a close ally of the Tokugawa, established Sendai, which is now the largest town of the Tōhoku region.

Date Masamune built a castle at Sendai as his seat to rule Mutsu.
In 1871, Sendai Prefecture was formed. It was renamed Miyagi prefecture the following year.

In the town of Shikama 色麻町　in Miyagi Prefecture in northeastern Japan,
there is a shrine devoted to a water god. In the Heian period (794-1192), a shogun named Sakanoue no Tamuramaro arrived in this area. A man called Touemon swam like a kappa across the swiftly flowing river and worked hard for the shogun. The shogun was so pleased that he gave Touemon the surname kappa, which has been handed down by generations of chief priests at the shrine ever since.

The kappa's favorite food is the cucumber. In ancient times, some houses had streams running through their grounds for washing vegetables and other things. People would take the first cucumbers harvested and throw them into these streams as offerings to the water god.

気仙沼市本吉町小泉 Kesennuma, Motoyoshicho

八幡神社
［宮城県気仙沼市本吉町小泉］??
この八幡神社はヨダワケノミコトをお祀りした神社で、天文12（1584）年に建立されました。桃山時代ですね。当時小泉地区には小泉城があって、殿様の三条小太夫近春（さんじょうこだゆうちかはる）が中舘平五郎信常（なかだてへいごろうのぶつね）を宇佐八幡宮にやって、そのころは交通機関も何もないもんですから、1年かけて歩いて行ってね。九州・大分の宇佐八幡宮が日本全国の八幡様の総本宮なんですよ。格が高くなってくると、八幡「神社」ではなくて、八幡「宮」になるんです。そこから分霊してもらったのが始まりなんですね。小泉城の跡は、今朝磯（けさいそ）の仮設住宅のところにあるんです。
snip

なぜそんなことができたかという、おかしな話があってね。近春が小泉の川に馬に乗って入って馬を洗っていると、河童がいたんだそうです。河童が馬に悪さをしていたので、近春が河童を「お前、そんなことしちゃだめじゃねか」っていきなり押さえて、えらく説教したんだそうですよ。「いや殿様、助けてくれたから大事なことを教えてあげます」と、水遁（スイトン）の術っていって、水に長時間潜っていられる術を授けたんだそうです。それで、沼に身を隠したんですね。
伊達の家来は、「近春は死んだ、もう万歳だから帰ろう」と言って去って行った。伊達の家来が帰った時に、近春はこそこそ上がってきて、小泉に帰ってきたんです。次の年になっても、伊達家からまた、「来い」と命令があって、近春も今年はダメだって覚悟したんですよ。「今度行ってまた水の中に隠れても見つかってしまうだろう」と。それで、もう八幡神社のお祭りは見納めだからと、早めにお祭りをやって、そして覚悟して出て行ったんですね。

Praying at this shrine will help heal problems with your hand and arms.

. - Kappa no kusuri カッパの薬 / 河童の薬 Kappa and medicine - .

There are many legends of a Kappa who had exchanged his arm for a special medicine and then died, but this legend comes in some versions.





- quote
Once upon a time
some say it was toward the end of the Heian period, on a late afternoon, the Lord Serizawa 芹澤氏　was riding alone along the banks of a river. A kappa lived in this river at that time.
Suddenly his horse stopped.
When the lord looked down he saw a Kappa pulling at its tail to get the horse into the water.



The Lord was taken by surprize.
"His must be the bad guy who is doing so much harm to the villagers all the time!"
He took his sword, grabed the tail of his horse and cut off the arm of the Kappa.
The Kappa had to jump back into the water without his arm and the hand with the web between the fingers 水掻き to make his such a good swimmer.

The Lord thought this arm of the Kappa was quite special and put it up on the shelf in the tokonoma 床の間 decoration alcove of his reception room.

Late at night a lone man knocked at his gate and asked for a lodging for this night.
His face was a pale green and he had only one arm.
The Lord did not want to ask the poor man about the reason for the missing arm and had a bed prepared for him. Then he went to sleep himself.



- - - BUT
at midnight, he felt the presence of another being and indeed, when he checked, the man was just trying to steal the arm of the Kappa from the shelf.

"Hey, so you are a thief after all!" he yelled at the man.
The man turned into a Kappa in no time, grabbed the arm on the shelf and tried to run out of the estate.

But the Lord, who was a strong man, caught the Kappa and bound him with a rope.
"At least now we know who you are, you vicious Kappa.
I will not allow you to harm my villagers any more, you bad bad Kappa!"

"Dear Lord, please forgive me, I will never be bad again. Please, please, let me go back to my river! I understand your anger very well, but you see, I have an old mother and if I do not come home to care for her, she will die too. Just thinking about her makes me so sad!"

When the Lord heard this story, he felt pity with the Kappa.
"Well, because of your mother I will forgive you for today. But you have to promise never to do any harm again. As a punishment for your misdeeds so far, I will keep this arm of yours!"

But the Kappa pleaded again. If he dose not get his arm back, he said, he can do nothing and not help his old mother and in the end, the Lord let him have the arm back.

"For the sake of your mother and since you seem to care so much for her (oya kookoo 親孝行),
I will let you have the arm back."
"Thank you so very much, my Lord. I will never forget you and pay you back a favor some time!"

Next morning - oh wonder - a huge carp was hanging from the branch of a tree in his garden.
And the following morning, - oh wonder - a huge eels was hanging on the branch.
And you guess, the following morning - oh wonder - a crucian carp (funa フナ) was hanging on the branch.

The Lord asked his retainers, but nobody had done this and nobody knew anything about this fish present.
A month went by, half a year went by, a year went by with a fish present hanging on the tree every morning.

Then came a very cold day of winter, with a strong cold gale blowing and on this morning, nothing was hanging on the branch.
"I wonder what happened to our fish provider. Maybe he is ill?"
And the Lord went down to the river to have a look.

When he looked down at the river from the bank, he saw something bobbing in the water.
When he came closer, he saw the dead body of the Kappa with o huge would on one of his arms.
And in his hand the Kappa was grabbing a huge huge carp.

When the Lord saw the hand grabbing the carp, he suddenly realized who had brought a fish to his garden every morning. It was the Kappa he had once spared the life!
So the Lord had a shrine build upstream to venerate and thank the Kappa for his daily presents-
the Tetsugi Jinja - lit. "The Shrine of the Grafted Arm".
The End.

Another source quoted that the Kappa was also passing on the recipe for a medicine to heal wounds.
The family of Serizawa kept the medicine for many many generations, and after they lost their status as samurai, they made a living as doctors.
Serizawa Kamo 芹沢鴨 (? - 1863), of the Shinsengumi, was a member of this clan.
- reference : shittaka37.seesaa.net





The name of the bridge is also given as 手奪橋 Teubaibashi - bridge of the captured arm.
across the river 梶無川 Kajinashigawa.
（茨城県行方市玉造町芹沢橋)
The Kappa grabbed the horse's tail when the Lord rode over this bridge.
- reference : ameblo.jp/shokokai-namegata






The name of the Kappa is given as 七郎河童 Shichiro Kappa.

- quote -
Serizawa Kamo 芹沢鴨 (1826? – October 30?, 1863)
was a samurai known for being the original lead commander of the Shinsengumi. He trained in and received a licence in the Shindō Munen-ryū. "Kamo" means goose or duck in Japanese which was an odd name to call oneself at the time.
His full name was Serizawa Kamo Taira no Mitsumoto (Serizawa=family name, Kamo=given name, Taira=family clan name, Mitsumoto=formal given name.)

The Serizawa family were upper-seat Goshi rank samurai in Serizawa village in Mito which is now the capital of Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan. Kamo was born as the youngest son and his childhood name was Genta. He had two older brothers and an older sister. He was educated with the Sonnō jōi ideals (meaning revere the Tenno (emperor) and expel the foreigners) and swordsmanship since childhood at Kodoukan which was a state school in Mito. Mito is a sub-branch of the Tokugawa family and it was considered the motherland of the Sonnō Jōi ideology and was a center of support for the Tennō and the Imperial court, which helped fuel the Revolution.



- maybe Zerisawa 芹沢鴨？

Although no portrait of Kamo remains, it is said he was a large man with very pale skin and small eyes.

On one hand, Serizawa was quite bold and fearless and on the other hand, he was extremely selfish and had a terribly short temper so he started fights often. If he was in a bad mood he would get violent, especially when he was drinking, and he was a heavy drinker.
He was an idealist who held very strong pro-Imperial court beliefs and took the Sonno-joi beliefs very seriously while at the same time siding with the Tokugawa regime. A small fact that is less well-known is that Serizawa was good at drawing and showed his drawings to children.
