taka nyuudoo, Taka nyūdō 高入道 Takanyudo Monster Legends

- source - wikipedia -

- Related to the more common
. Oonyuudoo 大入道 O-Nyudo Monster. the BIG Nyudo .
- huge monster with a tonsured head - Introduction -

.......................................................................

quote
高入道 Taka nyūdō
Translation: tall priest
Alternate names: frequently confused with mikoshi nyūdō
Habitat: alleys, roads, mountains; native to Shikoku and the Kinki region
Diet: omnivorous
Appearance:
The taka nyūdō is a close relative of the mikoshi nyūdō. Because of the similarity in regional names and appearance, taka nyūdō and mikoshi nyūdō are often confused with one another. Taka nyūdō are usually encountered in alleyways, suddenly appearing before unsuspecting humans. Like the mikoshi nyūdō, they increase their height at the same speed as their victim's gaze.
Interactions:
Taka nyūdō can be defeated in a similar manner as the mikoshi nyūdō—by demonstrating courage in the face of death, showing no fear, and refusing to raise your head and denying them the chance to grow. Some say they can also be outsmarted by carrying a ruler or other measuring utensils and attempting to calculate their height before it can react. The confused giant usually leaves in disgust and will not bother the same person again.
Taka nyūdō
are generally less violent than other giants. They are content with simply scaring its victims instead of ripping their throats out or crushing them with trees.
Its true form is often a tanuki, kitsune, or kawauso.

.......................................................................

- quote -
見越入道 Mikoshi nyūdō
Translation: anticipating priest
Alternate names: mikoshi, miage nyūdō, taka bōzu
Habitat: bridges, roads, streets; especially at night
Diet: omnivorous; prefers travelers
Appearance:
Mikoshi nyūdō are fearsome yōkai who appear late at night to lone travelers on empty streets, intersections, or bridges. They appear to be harmless traveling priests or monks, no taller than an ordinary person; but in an instant they grow abnormally tall, with long claws and hair like a wild beast.
Behavior
As soon as a person raises his eyes to look upon a mikoshi nyūdō, the giant grows to an immense height—as tall the observer is able to raise his eyes, and just as fast. This causes the person to look up so high and fast that they lose their balance and tumble backwards. That's when the mikoshi nyūdō lunges forward and bites their throat out with its teeth.
Interactions:
Those unfortunate enough to meet this cruel yōkai usually do not live to tell the tale. Much depends on the person's reaction. If they try to ignore and walk past the mikoshi nyūdō, the angry giant will crush them or pierce them with bamboo spears and branches. The same fate is met by those who turn and try to run away. People who stare at the mikoshi nyūdō frozen in fear will drop dead on the spot, overcome by its presence.
The only possible escape
is to anticipate the mikoshi nyūdō (thus its name). Meet it face-to-face, eye-to-eye, and show no fear. Then, look from its head down to its feet, rather than starting at the feet and looking up. If done properly, the giant's power to grow will be sapped. Telling the giant, "You lost! I anticipated your trick!" causes it to vanish in anger, leaving the traveler to pass safely along.
Other forms:
Mikoshi nyūdō is a popular form of some shape-shifting animals. In particular, itachi and tanuki transform into these giants in order to hunt humans. Kitsune and mujina are known to occasionally take this form as well, though less often. When a mikoshi nyūdō is result of a transformation, it carries a bucket, a lantern, or some other tool. This tool is where the shape-shifter's true body is stored. If you can snatch the object away from the giant before it attacks, the spell is broken and the transformed yōkai will be at its captor's mercy.

Suna 砂 districts in Koto ward - Sunamachi 砂町
Higashisuna 東砂 / Kitasuna 北砂 / Minamisuna 南砂 / Shinsuna 新砂

Before Tokugawa Ieyasu moved to Edo,
the Hachiman shrine in this area was located a bit further to the east, in Sunamura.
The tiny village of Sunamura is located on a patch of high ground in the midst of the marshes, about five kilometers east of Edo. It is one of the oldest settlements in the area, but remains fairly rural and isolated due to the surrounding marshes.

- Sunamura 砂村　"Sand village" district
It has four sub-districts,
North, East, South and New : 北砂 Kitasuna、東砂 Higashisuna, 南砂 Minamisuna and 新砂 Shinsuna -
Since 1889 known as 砂町 Sunamachi, combined with other small districts nearby.
Sunamachi Ginza Shopping District -located at Kitasuna

Sunamachi Ginza Tanabata Festival



The district is named after its developer,砂村新四郎　Sunamura Shinshiro, the brother of
砂村新左衛門 Sunamura Shinzaemon (1601 – 1668).

He moved to Edo from Kanagawa and was tasked with developing a large sandbank. The 13 fields he could create gave reason for the name, Shinden　新田 "New Fields"


江戸時代初期、新田開発に生涯を捧げた
Edo jidai shoki, shinden kaihatsu ni shōgai o sasageta
溝手正儀 Mizote Masanori
- まえがき（抜粋）
これは江戸時代初期の土木技術者砂村新左衛門の生涯を綴る最初の書になるはずである。
徳川家康が天下統一を完成させようとしていたちょうどその頃越前に生まれ、日本各地を駆け巡って新地開拓に情熱を注ぎ、武蔵の地でその生涯を終えた砂村新左衛門・・・その名を知る人は多くない。
前半では比較的分かりやすい形で新左衛門の生涯を物語風に書いてみることにする。新左衛門に関する史料は多く残っていない。そこで私は可能な限り合理的な推理によって「点」を結んで「線」にし、若干の時代背景を加えることで「面」にすることを試みた。
そして後半では、ある程度のまとまりを持ったエピソードについて、立証しながら論文風に書いてみる。
「物的証拠から確かに言えること」、「状況証拠からほぼ言えること」、「証拠がなく想像に過ぎないこと」に区分して説明するようにした。いずれもこれまでの説よりは確かな新説が展開できていると自負している。
なお、主な古文書についてはその翻刻(活字への変換)および原典コピー(写真)を末尾の資料編に関係する部分をできるだけすべて示した。結果的に資料の紹介に多くのページを割いたが、これらは限られた場所に行かないと閲覧できないものも多く、「是非自分でも読んでみたい」という読者の要望にも応えるべきと考えたからである。
