西蒲原郡 Nishi-Kanbara district 巻町 Maki town

The villagers come together at 仙蔵院 the Temple Senzo-In to make a large rope serpent of straw and sand bales.
This rope is hung at the main hall and the head priest performs a rain ritual.
Then they carry the rope around, blowing a conch and beating drums
until they reach 上堰潟 the Uwaseki lagoon.
They throw the rope in the water and go home.
Now the large serpent seems to call the rain clouds and soon it begins to rain.

kitsune きつね a fox
The priest of the temple 仙蔵院 Senzo-In had been bewitched by a fox.
On his way in the evening he saw a funeral group coming and going, the dead getting up and running away.
When he came to his senses, it was already day time.
