Kijimunaaaaaaaaaaaa

Standing under the Hinpun Gajimaru or, Gajumaru, a ~300 year old banyan tree in the middle of Ohigashi street in Nago, Okinawa, Japan. According to a local legend, the spirit Kijimuna, a red-haired child spirit who is jumping around the kikon air roots of the tree. On a good day, Kijimuna will make one’s house prosper by helping catch a lot of fish, but on a bad day, especially if one farts (!, Kijimuna apparently really hates flatulence), one will be grabbed by their ankle and drowned in the sea. Damn!
