| When Hikoshichi OMORI happened to pass by the bank of Yatori-gawa River, a beautiful woman came out of the Jizo-do Hall and told him to make her pass the river; so he carried her on his back and as he reached the middle of the river, he felt like he was carrying a huge rock; the surface of the water reflected an ogre. |
矢取り川の岸に大森彦七が通りかかると、美麗なる女、地蔵堂の辺より出て川を渡し給れと云ふにつき、背に負ひ川中に至ると大磐石を負たる如く、下見れば鬼の形水にうつる。 |
