kaminari 雷と伝説 Legends about Thunder and Lightning
.......................................................................... Gunma 群馬県 ............................
佐波郡 Sawa district
There is a ritual called nawa no goshinji ナワノゴシンジ "Ritual of the rope".
Once upon a time, the farmers were having a hard time with wind storms and thunder, so the priest decided to have 21 days and nights of prayers in the temple hall. When he came out of the hall after 21 days, there was an oni 鬼 demon saying: "I was the one who caused all the trouble with bad weather!"
So the priest took the devil and tore out its horns, throwing them high in the air. One flew off to the next village, one flew of to the shrine
角折神社 Tsunoori Jinja (Tsuno-ori) "Shrine of the Broken Horn", now in Saitama.
Since then, the farmers held this ritual and could grow good crops.
There are other versions of this story, dating back to the year 862 and the ritual done with the approval of the Emperor. The priest tore the whole Oni to pieces and one of its arms was floating down a river, floating to 群馬県佐波郡玉村町の角渕.
Now people come here to pray for peace in the land and the family.
