kitsune 狐，mujina 貉 - 火の用心
狐が女に化ける時には2匹で化ける。陰部は1匹の狐の口で、この女と交わると男根に歯の跡がつく。山小屋で女が陰部を出して寝ている所に、虫が飛んできて、陰部と思っていた所が突然口を開いて虫を食ったので狐と分かったという話もある。狐は小便を酒、蚯蚓を饅頭、馬糞を牡丹餅、肥溜を風呂にして人を騙す。狐に化かされたら小便をすればよい。狐がコンコンと鳴くのは喜び鳴きで、ギャギャは火の用心すべしという。貉は人のようにオーイと呼ぶことがあり、返事をすると早く根の尽きた方が死ぬ。

udonge 優曇華 / ウドンゲ と伝説 Legends about Udonge flowers
udonge no hana 優曇華の花

This legendary flower is said to flower once in 3000 years and to see its flowers is very special.


source : togetter.com/li...


- quote -
In Buddhism, udumbara (Pali, Sanskrit) refers to the tree, flower and fruit of the Ficus racemosa (syn. Ficus glomerata). In Buddhist literature, this tree or its fruit may carry the connotation of rarity and parasitism. It is also mentioned in Vedic texts as the source of wood for rituals and amulets.
The udumbara is also used to refer to the flower of the blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea Sav.).
The Japanese word udonge (優曇華)
was used by Dōgen to refer to the flower of the udumbara tree in chapter 68 of the Shōbōgenzō ("Treasury of the Eye of the True Dharma"). Dōgen places the context of the udonge flower in the Flower Sermon given by Gautama Buddha on Vulture Peak. The udonge flower may be symbolic of mind to mind transmission between the teacher and the student, in this case, Gautama Buddha and Mahakasyapa.
Udonge is also used to refer to the eggs of the lacewing insect.
The eggs are laid in a pattern similar to a flower, and its shape is used for divination in Asian fortune-telling.
