Episode 10: A man who buys eyebrows

　Until the beginning of the Showa era, Seya was a very popular place for silkworms. There were no vehicles at this time, and people walked to any distant place. The eyebrows merchant came to Seya from Hachioji and Machida.
　Seya's Tora was one of the eyebrows. Otora-san buys "Kuzumayu", which is called "Gucha Mayu". The hard worker and bright tori was barefoot even in cold weather, running around to buy eyebrows, and weaving the ground weaving with kuzumayu. The first time he went to buy eyebrows, he loved to talk with the villagers while tea.
Such a torian suddenly felt pain in his feet and waist, and he couldn't buy eyebrows as he expected.
"I wonder if this pain can't be cured."
"I wish I could have this pain."
I was talking to people. Then one person knows
"If you go to the prayer teacher who lives in the Hachi fence and see it."
He told me.
　Tora-san decided to go to the eight fence at once to see him. Even if you say eight fences in a bite, you have to walk across many mountains and passs. Mr. Tora left the house in the dark, and finally reached the eight fence. But the house of the prayer master was still in the shutters and no one was up. When I entered the garden, in the dark, there were some eyeballs that glowed, stared at it, and seemed to be flying away.
　Mr. Tora was surprised. This was very difficult, unless I had to be taken away by a fox, I had released the souvenirs I brought and came back home at Ichimokusan.
　When he got home, he suddenly noticed.
"Mysterious, I couldn't sleep at night because my legs hurt so much." Yes, my feet and hips were completely pained.
　Mr. Otori began to go out to buy eyebrows again, wherever he went.
"The prayer of the eight fence was great, he did not see anywhere and healed the pain in his legs and hips. It's a mysterious thing."
He said.
