The Golden Legend of King the Son

On the border with Minami Ward, there is a town called Saido, where you have lived for a long time, called Kasahara. This mysterious story is about the fine Olympic tower that still remains under the large zelkova tree in the mansion.
The stone Olympic tower is usually built as a grave, but it is said that under the Olympic tower, there is a high-ranking person named Ozono.
However, Ozono is only the ancestor of the Kasahara family, and he does not know at all where he came from and who was. In the past, there was a genealogy showing the relationship between the Ozono and the Kasahara family, but unfortunately it is unknown.
The Olympic pagoda had something like a mysterious song.

The place where the sun shines.
A thousand cups of goldfish
Where it is buried

At the mysterious song, a young man wanted to dig it secretly.
When young people dug the soil more and more, it seems that something hit the tip of the hoe.
When I dug it out, it was an old pot. But when he opened the lid of the pot, the young man sat down. It was in the pot, not only the golden, but also the bones of the dead man.
Finally, the young man calmed down, looked around, and confirmed that there were no people, and then refilled the pot as it was.
Then, he was worried and worried about it, so many times he was reluctant to the spirit of the person sleeping under the stone Olympic tower and offered a memorial service.
Later, nobody dug the tomb, and the Olympic tower is still calming down under a large zelkova tree.
And now I don't know the King of Misono or the golden.
Only this beautiful Olympic tower, which seems to have been from the Kamakura period, remains.
