Tale 63 — The mayoiga and the golden bowl
The wife of an ancestor of the Miura family of Oguni went deep into the mountains to gather butterbur shoots, and came upon a fine, empty house, a mayoiga, a house in the mountains that cannot be found again, and fled home. Later a red bowl came floating down from upriver, and when she used it to measure rice, the rice never ran out; the house prospered and became the Miura family of today.
