.......................................................................
hebi 蛇 serpent
In the year 1826, a 14-year ofld child named 高橋千吉 Takahashi Senkichi lived at the 小石川三百坂 Koishikawa Sanbyakusaka slope.
He observed 15 snakes who had cuddled up together, with an old shining coin in their middle. Senkichi stretched his arm and got the coin. Other people told him to throw it away, but Senkichi insisted he had done no harm to anybody. So the others told him that his grandmother had once taken a jewel out of a group of serpents and hoped to become rich for the rest of her life.
.......................................................................
小石川諏訪町 Koishikawa Suwa town
The home of a rich merchant caught fire many times, but nobody was found who had done this.
A mountain priest performed purifying rituals and suddenly a girl began to cry "I am so afraid, so afraid!" and suddenly disappeared with her mother.
Next morning they found the dead bodies of the two in the nearby moat.
They must have been the arsonists.
.......................................................................
shari 舎利 relics of Buddha
Once their lived a 同心 police officer who could shoot with bow and arrow. His name was 長蔵 Chozo. His mother had once received special manju 饅頭 buns from her mistress and kept them as a memento. A few days later they had changed into some red and white pebbles (小石 koishi). Inside was something red - this must have been the relics of Buddha.
