raijuu 雷獣 Raiju, a Thunder Beast Monster
At the temple Daishooji 大聖寺 Daisho-Ji Around 1720 at a small shrine within the temple compound
there was a Raiju which could not find its way back to heaven.
The priest stuck a long pole in the ground to help it climb up.
When the officials heard the story,
they thought the temple must be blessed especially
and gave it a lot of land as special reward.
