Konan Ward folk tale

Daido Konandai

Once upon a time, people went to see Oyama in Sagami, which is said to be a rainy mountain.
The people of Musashi country also passed along the Kotsubo Road and Hinokawa Roads, entered the mountain road from Fudozaka at Tozuka's inn on the Tokaido, and went to the rainy mountain to pray for rain.
And on the way home, when I spoke in a word, it was said that it rained on the way, and the effect of worshiping for rain would be lost.
At one point, the party of Musashi Country
"Let's rain so that the crops grow well."
And on the way back to the rainy mountain. The sun was dark, and the area was dark.
Eventually, the light of the nightlight that the grandma of the pass always came to see.
"Oh, I'm glad. I've got lost, and I've come back here."
And all nodded each other because they couldn't speak to each other.
One who was hungry and hungry
〈Improved〉 There must have been a manji-yuya near here>
I don't think of it.
"Manju!"
That's why I said.
Everyone was surprised, but they walked silently as if they had heard nothing. However, the heart is not calm.
〈Improved〉 But I have come back so far, and the rain begging for rain. What should I do if the crop has died again this year? If it rains, what shall he give him?'
〈Improved things that I couldn't get it back>
And the man is nodded.
Then, it began to rain, potsuri, and sermons. I couldn't see anything of the nightlight, and I couldn't understand the way.
〈Improved〉 But I shouldn't see him.
And they all leaned towards them.
At that time, a suit and something came down.
And the appearance of walking like a guide can be seen in the rain. Isn't it a large tengu dressed as a mountainbushi, a red face, wearing a single tooth clogs, and a small tengu with a bird's beak?
As everyone chased after the tengu, the rain went up and returned home safely.
"The tengu on the Oyamado helped me. Daitengu and Kotengu are always protecting them on the mountain path."
And the villagers were able to live with peace of mind.
