Tale 73 — The wooden statues of Kakura-sama
In Tono there were many wooden statues of Kakura-sama, a roadside god children played with, including some in Nishinai, in Tochinai and Ohora, in Yamaguchi. No one worshipped them, and the carving was crude, so the appearance of their clothing and head ornaments was not clear.
