Yakushi Nyorai 薬師如来 and legends from Fukui 福井県
名田庄村 Natasho
At the shrine 薬師神社 Yakushi Jinja in 蛇頭集落 Jato village people pray that 大蛇 a huge serpent will not become too wild.
In former times someone found some large blue stones, thought to be the bones of a serpent.
Around 1950 children played with these stones and eventually they got lost.
