Legend from Yamanashi, Minobu san and Saint Nichiren

oha icho お葉公孫樹 / オハイチョウ leaves of the Gingko tree
In the year 1274 when Saint Nichiren had come to Minobusan, a visiting monk gave him poisoned mochi 餅 rice cakes and Nichiren was almost killed.
On this day he had been out walking and gave the rice cake to a shiroinu 白犬 white dog on the road. The dog died soon.
Nichiren took pity on the dog, held a memorial service for him and made a mound, where he put 銀杏の枝 his walking staff made from gingko wood into the ground.
The staff kept in the ground, got roots and became a strong gingko tree.
People used the leaves of this tree to protect themselves from poisoning.

Legend from Kyoto, 宮津市 Miyazu city
Even if the old man taking care of the temple hall and the bell fell asleep in the afternoon, there always came a dog and woke them up in time. One day the old man and the dog slept both and there was no bell ringing at the usual time.
That night the dog took responsibility for this, cut his tongue and commited suicide.

Legend from Tottori 西伯町 Saihaku town

. ujigami 氏神 clan KAMI deities .
At the 稲荷 Inari Shrine of the 氏神様 Ujigami they never keep a dog. In former times when a sekiri 赤痢 bloody diarrhea epidemic raged, a farmer at the edge of the village had kept a dog who was very noisy.
In the village 八頭郡船岡村 Funaoka in Yazu district they also keep no dogs, but the reason why is not clear.
