At the river 衣川 Kinugawa there lived a strange person. He had a shaven head and sharp looking eyes. He never said his name, but he was strong and very learned and could heal all kinds of illnesses. He never took any thank-you money.
He drank 枸杞茶 a special health tea made from kuko 枸杞 Lycium chinense.
He only had one laquered box to carry his belongings.
Once Lord 伊達政宗 Date Masamune ordered him to open the box.
Inside were 三軸三翰三張 three scrolls, three scriptures and three papers - and 観音像 one statue of Kannon Bosatsu. On the statue was an inscription that his name was Oni Santa, a name given to him by the priest Kurama Tookooboo 鞍馬東光坊 Toko-Bo from Mount Kurama, Kyoto.
