Tale 93 — The ijin who told of a child's death at the pass
Kikuchi Kikuzo was crossing Fuefuki Pass to fetch his wife, so she could look after their sick child, when on a dim mountain road a man with a red face and shining eyes called to him from above a cliff, saying, "Your child is already dead." He hurried back with his wife, and indeed the child had died.
