toori akuma 通り悪魔
自宅庭の手水鉢近くに茂る葉蘭から焔が３尺ほど燃え上がっていたとき、眼光尋常でない大男が隣家より塀を飛び越えて来て、槍を振り回した。目を閉じて１時間ほどすると、焔も大男もいなくなっていた。この正体は邪気とそれに破られて乱心した隣家の主人であった。これが俗にいう通り悪魔であろう。

- quote -
In each region of the Shimabara Peninsula many legends about giants have been told. The story about the kind and friendly giant Misogoro is one of them.
The statue of Misogoro was built based on this old story passed down in this area.
The statue is carried on a truck and is displayed in a parade that goes down the old shopping street of Nishi Arie.
At the festival, many events related to Somen noodles are held such as a fancy-dress parade, somen tasting, and a fast-eating of somen contest. Moreover, the event offers an exhibition and sale having not only Tenobe Somen boodle, but also locally harvested crops and fishery products.
