Legend from Okayama
New Year
Toshigami is also called ワカドシ Wakadoshi san, "Young Deity" and has only one leg, so they offer only one new zoori 草履 sandal.
If they offer the sandals they were wearing then a horse or cow was lost, they are sure to find the animal.

When Sai no Kami was sleeping by the roadside, one of his legs was cut off by a car and he had to live with one leg only.
