Mie 三重県 

- quote -
There is a restaurant called "Kappa club" in my hometown 紀北町 Kihoku-cho, Mie Pref..
When a boy is born in the house of the fisherman in my hometown, manners and customs to have they go with Minato-ya of Honmachi on 11th for New Year holidays and take the cup of parent and child and exchange it stay even now.
湊治郎左衛門 Jirozaemon Minato lived in 長島浦 Nagashima-ura was in the middle of crossing the 赤羽川 Akaba river on the back of his white horse, when the tail of his horse was caught by Kankarakoboshi (Kappa).
When Jirozaemon slashed with his sword, they left the right arm which kankarakoboshi (kappa) screamed, and was catching a tail and escaped in a river.
Because Kankarakoboshi appeared in the evening of the third day after Jirouzaemon took the arm home with, he got his arm back and made a promise to be able to never let the person of the whole families of this house die in the sea and a river.
Thereafter the people of the Minato family didn't seem to encounter drowning in the sea or a river.



When a boy is born in a family of the village which just runs fishery after it for nearly 400 years, they go to the Minato's for New Year holidays and in them for the first time, and a custom to exchange the cup of sake making the vow of parent and child.
Thus the Kappa will also protect them.
