This town Tsurufukuin-cho, where our shop is...

 

There is the small town named Fushigazushi near here.


This strange name is derived from one historical incident.


 

In Nara period, about  1300 years ago,

 

it was said a demon appeared in night at the belfry of Gangoji temple.



And then, one boy at Gangoji temple would drive away the demon.


 He was very strong, and drove into a corner.


However, the day broke before the battle finished,


and the demon ran away.

 

The boy went after, but the demon disappeared in a narrow street.


 

 

This street is Fushigazushi, which means

 

the mysterious street that the demon disappeared.
