Tale 72 — The curse of Kakura-sama
At the mound by the entrance to Kotobata in Tochinai village, a wooden seated image, said to have once been kept inside a hall, was enshrined as Kakura-sama, a roadside god children played with. Children treated it like a toy, throwing it into the river and so on, and the image had become damaged. It was said that anyone who scolded them to stop could instead receive a curse.
