Ichibancho 一番町
kori 狐狸 fox and badger
In 新道一番町 Shindo Ichibancho there lived the family of 上原庄作 Uehara Shosaku. His wife suddenly found that from her arm about 10 red hair had begun to grow. She pulled them out immediately and found them to be almost 60 cm long. But pulling them out did not help, they soon grew back. Once she had peed on a place with black gravel. A doctor tole her, this must have been the deed of a fox or badger.

Morikawa Inari 森川稲荷, 三光院いなり Sanko-In Inari, 腰掛稲荷 Koshikake Inari
On the 11th day of the second lunar month in 1827, on the night before the festival of the First Day of the Horse, the low-ranking Samurai 幸吉 Kokichi from 新道一番町 Shindo Ichibancho told his master that he was off to the Morikawa Inari shrine, where he lived.
Next morning his master found a wooden statue of Inari at his doorstep.
From this day on, if he had a wish to make to Inari, he would ask Kokichi to mediate for him.
On the first day of the third lunar month, his master and 若殿 the young lord made an offering of ritual Sake for the Deity. Looking closer the next day, half of the Sake and the other food offerings were gone.
So they thought the Inari deities from Sanko-In and the Koshikake Inari had come too.

And well, you guess, the rat never showed up again.
