sugi no boo 杉の坊 monk of the cedar tree

The temple 紀州法燈寺 Hotto-Ji in Kishu had been burned down many times and
now the head priest could not re-build it again. A wandering monk came
by and said he could do it.
The priest said he was 赤木山の杉の坊 Akagiyama no Sugi no Bo, the Monk of
the Cedar Tree from Mount Akagisan in Gunma.
He asked all the villagers to put out the fires for one night - and oh
wonder, the next morning the temple with all its buildings was
standing there in fill splendor.
