Rokkakudoo 六角堂 The Rokkakudo Hall

Shotoku Taishi transported a statue of 如意輪 Nyoirin Kannon from Awaji to his place,
when a purple cloud appeared above 杉の霊木 the sacred pine tree near 六角堂 the Rokkakudo Temple Hall.
Later 桓武天皇 the Emperor Kanmu Tenno relocated the capital 平安京 Heiankyo
and the Rokkakudo Temple Hall now stood in the middle of an alley.
The officers wondered if they could relocate the Rokkakudo Temple Hall.
Now a black clound appeared and moved the Hall, so that the road was clear now.

. kawauso 獺魚 / 川獺 river otter .
In 1910, a man passed a road along the fields near 六角堂 the Rokkakudo Temple Hall,
when he heard a strange voice singing:
yume no yume koso zazazazaza 夢の夢こそザザザザザ a dream, a dream, zazazazaza
When he came to his sences, he was almost fallen into the field.
The stange voice was gone but now there came sand flowing toward him - バラバラ parapara.
It must have been kawauso 獺魚 a river otter.
