Inari Myojin no Keshin 稲荷明神の化神 an Incarnation of Inari Myojin
If there was a strong rain, tha water of the river overflows and people can not cross 尼子橋 the bridge Amakobashi.
The wife of 岩城則道 Iwaki Norimichi, 徳尼 Tokuni, felt very sorry for the farmers.
One day an old man with white hair sighed in front of the hut of Tokuni, so she invited him in.
The old man said he was skilled in building bridges and would help.
He kept his word and within 30 days the bridge was built.

The old man crossed the bridge and said now they would not meet again.
He disappeared out of sight near the temple 薬王寺 Yakuo-Ji.
The old man was also called 尼子稲荷明神 Amako Inari Myojin.

Gyoki no toku 行基の徳 the virtue of Gyoki
On the road from 薬王寺 the Temple Yakuo-Ji in 阿波国海部郡比和左村 to 土佐国 Tosa (now 高知県 Kochi)
there is a retreat called
Gyoki An 行基庵 Gyoki Hermitage.
Once a mackarel merchant passed here and Gyoki asked for one fish as an offering.
But the merchant would not give him one.
Now Gyoki sung a song saying the horse of the merchant would fall ill.
And indeed, the horse fell ill.
The merchant was shocked and apologized.
Now Gyoki sung a song saying the horse would get well
and indeed, it got well immediately.
The story spread around and many people came to pray here and made a statue of Gyoki.
