ISSUMBOSHI
Once upon a time, there was a old
couple who lived in a small house near the village, but they didn’t have a
child until half of century. They asked to God everyday so their wish would be
granted.
One day, from the household Shinto
altar, they heard a voice of a baby who was crying. They looked at that baby
and suddenly they were hit by lightning because that baby just like a little
finger. After that, They called their baby ’Issumboshi’.
They kept him so well even everytime
they had was just for Issumboshi. They fed him sincerely, but he was not
getting bigger.
Due to his lack, he was always
bullied by children of the village. “Hey, Issumboshi, do you want to be eaten
by frog ?”, children said. They thought ‘Issumboshi’ meant ‘puny’ and they laughed
at him.
One day, Issumboshi said that he
would go to the Capital City and became a respectable person. His grandparent
were worried about him due to his small body but Issumboshi would never change
his decision. So they approved his decision and began preparing whatever he
needed for his trip.
Issumboshi sheathed a needle sword in
a straw case, put on a cup of sedge hat, and started out with a chopstick
staff, in high spirits. He went out for a trip with a big wish in a small body.
He had defeated his small body with big wish. Finally, he reached the Capital City
and anchored under the bridge. Then he climbed up to railing and viewed the
town.
Issumboshi
wanted to meet with The Feudal Lord. When The Feudal Lord stepped out of his
room, he asked who there was. He was surprised to see how small Issumboshi was.
Then, Issumboshi wanted to be employed by The Feudal Lord. But, The Feudal Lord
were worried due to his circumstance. Suddenly , there was a bee buzzing by and
Issumboshi stabbed it. The Feudal Lord were impressed for what Issumboshi did
and he was employed. Issumboshi were tasked to protect his princess and Princess
liked Issumboshi so much and she taught him reading, writing and others.
One
day, the princess went out and to worship at the Kiyomizu Temple. Suddenly,
there was strong wind and some demons appeared. The leader of the demons tried
to grab her. Issumboshi tried to help her but he was caught by the demons and
he was swallowed. And then, he could get away from his death and jumped at the
demon and stabbed demons’ eyes. There were still many demons, and they ran away
in hurry. But, there was a demon left and trembled while holding the magic
hammer. That demon said that the magic hammer could grant Issumboshi’s wish so
he gave it to Issumboshi. Then, that demon was let go by Issumboshi. Then,
Issumboshi gave it to Princess and asked her to wave the magic hammer and make
a wish that Issumboshi might become big. Wow!!! Issumboshi became bigger and
bigger. The last, he grew into a young man. He and the princess went back to
palace. The princess asked the King to let her marry with Issumboshi and
underwent their life together. They finally got married and Issumboshi’s
