長崎市 Nagasaki city 鍛冶屋町 Kajiya town

About 50 years ago, there lived a couple of old foxes in the deep groove
between the temple 大音寺 Daion-Ji and 大光寺 Daiko-Ji in 今籠町 Imakago town.
They were good foxes and had received favors from the temple,
so they guarded it every night.
People heard the sound of clappers or roof tiles falling down
or bamboo poles being hit.
When the people heard these sounds, they said:
"This is the clapboard of the foxes! Take good care of the kitchen fire!"
