. tanuki 狸 - mujina 狢 － racoon dog, badger legends .
The evening before the owner of a home had asked for rebuilding,
the grandparents were in the back house and the owner and his children went there to eat dinner
and the parents were doing some work at the Kotatsu heater.
Nearby was was a temple named 慈眼寺 Jigen-Ji with a large tree.
Suddenly the parents heard the sound of the tree falling down.
They became afraid and went to the main living room,
but no-one else of the family had heard any sound.
A Tanuki had come the the back of the hearth
and wiping its tail had caused the sound.
Thus he had deceived the parents.

武蔵国足立郡水波田村 In the Adachi district at Mizuhata village, at the temple 慈眼寺 Jigen-Ji,
there was a huge enoki 榎 nettle tree cut down,
the open cut covering a huge size of the ground.
This tree had been planted by a Happyaku Bikuni nun from 若狭 Wakasa.
When the villagers dug deeper, they found the statue of Jizo Bosatsu in a stone box,
with an inscription dating to 大化元年 the year 645.
This Bikuni must have lived for more than 1000 years.
