The large snake of Furukawa-Yato (Fukayato) Part 2

The same story remains in a slightly different form in Nishitani-mura Kawashima, where the head is wrapped.

This time, it is the story of Bentenzuka, which is handed down by the people of Nishitani Village Kawashima, whose heads are shrouded.

At the beginning of Taisho, the landlord where Bentenzuka was located, was called by the name of Aburaya. At this oil shop there were many brothers, one of whom was a great prostitute.

Every day, my mother said, "Gold me! Gave me money! "I was nervous about the money at home and playing.

One day, his brother, who went shopping in Isezakicho, found his brother walking together, and came home, and told her husband. My husband was so angry that he had returned home. And his brother had left the house, and he did not come back for many days, and he was unable to go.

The worried mother looked around here and there and where she had gone, but she couldn't guess. It was a few days later The following dream pillow came to her mother:

"There is Bentenzuka in the land of this house called Jabokubo. And the spirit of the great snake lies. This large snake was the one of the west lord asked a hunter named Jihei Oginomura to get rid of it. The torso should have been filled there. At the head of the master who filled his head, a shrine was built and buried generously, so the torso is sad and wanted to have a memorial service. As a result, my son's name was unknown. And give your son come home."

After this bow, there is a legend that the oil shop built a large Bentendo and memorialized the spirit of the snake, and his son returned.
