koi no rei no tatari 鯉の霊の祟り the curse of the spirit of the red carp
The water of the lake was overflowing from flooding and many carp were caught.
Among them was a specially large higoi 緋鯉 red carp, which was eaten at the home of the head of fisherman's group.
But soon after the family members became ill.
A fortune teller told them this was the curse of the carp. If they held a special ritual for its spirit, all would go well again.
After the ritual the fisherman put his boat into the lake again, but did not come home.
Later the villagers saw bubbles coming up from the middle of the lake.
Now they knew that the large red carp had taken his revenge.
