Near the temple 眞福寺 Shinpuku-Ji in 岩津村 Iwazu villate there lived an oni 鬼 demon,
but he was killed by the villagers.
They put its bones into a urine bottle and burried it,
but there was a curse and they held proper rituals for the dead.
They never put urine into a bottle again and the curse stopped.

kubi 首 a head
Once upon a time on a cold winter evening a young samurai walked
from 荒町 Aramachi town down the road toward 真福寺 the Temple Shinpuku-Ji,
where he met a beautiful woman near the Temple Gate.
The woman said: "I am a poor concubine and will be killed tonight Please help me!"
The Samurai promised to help her and then went back to his home by the riverside.
At midnight he heard a scream from the river "Help me, help me!"
And soon after, the head of a woman came flying to the home of the Samurai.
