Kanagawa 神奈川県 川崎市 Kawasaki - Legend

. 河童 / かっぱ / カッパ - Kappa, the Water Goblin of Japan! .
Near 武蔵国河ごえ the town of Kawagoe there is a place called たて Tate.
A child once wanted to wash a horse, but the horse went wild and the child fell in the river. The villagers saw a Kappa nearby, caught it and wanted to kill the Kappa.
A priest from a nearby temple felt pity for the Kappa and asked the villagers to forgive him. The Kappa promised never to attack humans or animals in the river and then went off.
That night, the priest found two buna 鮒 carps at his bedside, a present from the greatfull Kappa.

Legend from Niigata, 江南区 Konan ward 焼鮒駅 Yakifuna station // 日枝神社
.

In the compound of 日枝神社 Shrine Hie Jinja there used to be an old pond, where a special yakifuna 焼鮒 "burned Funa" lives.
When 親鸞聖人 Saint Shinran threw a dead burned Funa into the pond, it came back to life and its descendants live there to our day.
Its scales still have the color of burning.
