kamidana no tatari 神棚の祟り curse of the shelf of the Gods
A man named 田口イシノ Taguchi Ishino used a stone to perform uranai 占い fortune telling. She was called イシガミサマ Ishigami Sama.
She could find out the cause of a disease that a doctor could not cure any more or find out where a missing person was living.
She would use tsukemono ishi 漬物石 a heavy stone for making pickles and mumble prayers and then suddenly the heavy stone would feel very light.
When the husband of 赤倉ハルエ Akakura Harue had died of haibyo 肺病 a lung disease, she found this:
He had not put water offerings on the kamidana shelf for 天照大神 the Sun Godess Amaterasu Omikami and had thus been cursed.
While Ishino san was telling this, she trembled terribly.

The shrine takes its name from a poem by the great Heian era scholar Suguwara Michizane.
