昔、福島県の仁王寺に、尊貞法印というお坊さんがいました。
Once upon a time, there was a monk named Tontai Hōin at Nio-ji Temple in Fukushima Prefecture.
。
This monk often made mistakes, which made the villagers laugh happily.
。
For example, he couldnt refuse kind people, so he ended up being taken in the wrong direction on horseback, or when he was walking at night, a persimmon fell on his head, startling him and forcing him to stop and rest.
。
Furthermore, he once mistook the sound of rain for the sound of his own pee and ended up standing in the bathroom until morning.
。
Therefore, the villagers cherished this monk very much.
。
One spring day, while visiting a Buddhist household for an equinoctial event, an elderly woman treated him to fuki miso butterbur miso.
。
Fuki miso is a type of miso with a slightly bitter taste that contains butterbur buds.
。
I dont like fuki miso, but I ate it all because it was recommended to me.
。
Seeing that, the old woman thought the monk really liked the fuki-miso, and she told everyone in the village about it.
。
Since then, wherever he went, he was served nothing but fuki-miso, and he ended up getting sick from eating too much of it.
。
This story is still passed down in the village even today.
