| In the mountains of Kirishima, rice grows despite
having never been sown by man! Could this be the mythological gift

| About 2km west of Kirishima Jingu lies a big rock
with Sanskrit written on a crevice about 10cm (4 in). This rock
cannot be moved by human strength, so who put it there and who carved
in the writing? |
