hachi 蜂 bee，kumo 蜘蛛 spider
At the temple 本誓寺 Honsen-Ji the priest has a strange tale to tell.
Once a bee was caught in a spider's net. The spider fought to kill the bee, but the bee got free and flew away.
The spider then took a lotus leaf out of the pond and used its fibers to make a bag. The spider then hid in the bag.
A short time later a huge group of bees came back and stung the bag with the spider many many times. They left after quite some time.
The priest thought the spider must have died, but oh wonder - it crawled out of the bag and was safe !
sakana 魚 fish
In the year 1712 in the middle of the third lunar month, a strange fish was caught. It was all gray like a rat and had hair on its body. The head even looked like a rat. The tail was split into two, like a swallow tail. It also had fins on the body.

. amagoi 雨乞い ritual and prayer for rain .
In 1787 during a long dry period, the villagers offered prayers for rain and also made a renga 連歌 linked verse with prayers for rain.

................................................................................. Fukagawa Kitagawa 深川北川町

Some children were found dead when they had played in the water during hot summer days. So the villagers drained the moat.
