In Monju-do in Amanohashidate in Tango Province (currently the north part of Kyoto Prefecture), a lone pine tree called 'ryuto's pine' stands and at midnight on the day sixteen every month, ryuto flies to put a divine fire on this pine from offshore. 丹後国(現・京都府北部)の天橋立には文殊堂に「龍灯の松」と呼ばれる一本松があり、毎月16日の夜中、沖から龍燈が飛来してこの松に神火を灯すという。 |
