Raccoon Dog in Bunbuku Chagama Legend

𝄇

Morinji Temple in Tatebayashi has their private legend about a chagama, or a tea kettle without a spout, into which a raccoon dog, or a badger in another version of story, had turned itself, and which had the exceptional feature that boiled water in that never ran out by repeated drawings. Raccoon dog statues after that can be found at many places in the city area.
