Legend from Shiga 滋賀県
ReplyDelete. hinotama, hi no tama 火の玉と伝説 Legends about fire balls .
Around 3 in the morning at the beginning of the month, a ship was heading to the lake. From the East came a fire ball and stopped right above the mast.
A little later a bit of wind came and the fire ball seemed to ride the wind and blew away.
Pondering about this happening, the men thought it must have been a group of spiders.

- - - - - katsura 桂 Japanese Judas tree, Cercidiphyllum japonicum
Around 1580, on a day with heavy snow, a warlord was bewitched by 山蜘蛛 the mountain spiders.
He stayed under a Katsura tree, because he thought it was a house, but later many of his servants were found dead under the tree.
Now the villagers fear this tree.

Kumogafuchi no kyozuka くもが淵の経塚 Sutra mound at the Spider Riverpool
Upstream along 相木川 the river Aikigawa there is 白岩部落 a hamlet called Shiraiwa, where many fish lived.
Usually there were large spider webs and people did not go there.
But one day a man went there for fishing. The lord of the pool, 大蜘蛛 a huge spider, appeared, wound a thread around his leg and wanted to pull him inside. But thanks to his fishing rod being pulled in instead, the man was saved.
Afterthe villgers chanted Sutras by the riverside, the spider webs did not appear any more.
Now there is 経塚 a Sutra mound where they buried the scriptures to memorate the event.

Legend from Kochi
ReplyDelete中村市 Nakamura city // 魔神 devil
meshi o kuwan kaka 飯を食わん嬶 a wife that did not eat rice
A greedy man got a wife that did not eat any rice. He thought that was strange, hid in the straw and observed her.
At lunchtime he saw her cook a large portion of rice and eat it with two mouths at her head.
That day when the man was in the bath, the wife took the bath tub and carried it deep into the mountain. The husband got hold of a branch and jumped out of the tub.
Now he saw that a devil had shape-shifted into a kumo クモ spider and would come back in the evening.
That evening he made a fire in the stove and when he saw the spider coming down, he burned it.
