The Golden Legend of King Mizono

On the border with Minami Ward, there is a town called Noto, which is the old residence of Mr. Kasahara, an old resident. This mysterious story is about a fine Olympic tower that still remains under a large zelkova tree in the mansion.
Stone Olympic towers are usually built as graves, but beneath the Olympic tower is said to have a high-ranking man named Gozono.
However, Mizono is only regarded as the ancestor of the Kasahara family, and I do not know where he came from and who he was. In the past, there was a genealogy that showed the relationship between the Mizono King and the Kasahara family, but unfortunately it has become unknown.
The Olympic tower had something like a strange song.

A place where the sunset shines in the morning sun
1,000 golden cups of vermilion
Where it is buried

In the midst of the mysterious song, a young man decided to dig secretly.
When the young man digs the soil more and more, it seems that something hit the tip of the crouch.
When I dug it out, it was an old pot. However, when I opened the lid of the pot, the young man sat down. In the pot was not gold, but the bones of the dead man.
At last, the young man calmed down, looked around, and confirmed that there were no people, and then refilled the pot like it was.
Then, he was worried and worried, so he seemed to have sacrificed many times to the spirit of a person sleeping under the stone Olympic tower, and memorialized him around.
After that, no one digs the tomb, and the Olympic Pagoda still remains quiet under a large zelkova tree with a mystery.
And now, I have no longer understood the King of God or the golden.
Only this beautiful Olympic tower, which seems to be from the Kamakura period, is left.
