Tale 76 — Chojayashiki and the legend of buried gold
Chojayashiki is said to be the site of the former dwelling of a choja, a very rich man, of long ago, and nearby Nukamori is said to have become a hill from the rice bran that the choja threw away. There is a legend that gold was buried beneath a five-leafed deutzia tree in the mountains, and there are still those who search for it today. This choja was a mine prospector, and nearby there are also traces of iron slag and of a gold mine.
