/The Rice Paddy God
Within the town of Kirishima, no one thought
that a Rice Paddy god existed but at the
bottom of the road that leads to Kirishima
Jingu (around the area of Housenkan somen
shop) they detected a small field. They honor
the opening of this field, which occurred
during the generation of Yoshimatsu's (owner
of this field) grandfather, about 100 years
ago. The image of the Rice Paddy God was
donated about 20 years ago. The image is
about 15cm tall and made of cement. It holds
a rice scooper in its right hand, and wears
a straw hat. This is a very standard image
of a Rice Paddy God. |
