Visited a certain Joboji, Kandai of Kurobane. With unanticipated pleasure talked day and night, his brother Tosui coming over faithfully morning and evening had us to his place and then, at their instance, to relatives of his, and days passed: one in strolling about the outskirts, inspecting the site of the Inuoumono, another in wandering aroudn the Nasu reed-brakes to see Tamamo-no-mae's old tomb. Then praying at the Hachiman shrine. When Yoichi aimed at and struck the fan down, the prayer he uttered was: "Above all, to Sho-hachiman, god of my nativeland," referring to this shrine, and the grace of that response realized touches deep. At nightfall returned to Tosui's

Temple there called Shugen-komyoji. Invited, visited its gyojado.
