	We arrived at Joushinan(杖杉庵).
	Mr. T puts the luggage here and make the bicycle lightweight and runs. It is the place of Emonsaburou legend. Shikoku Pilgrimage, you will definitely hear "Legend of Emon-Saburo衛門三郎伝説". He is said to have performed Shikoku Pilgrimage for the first time and is said to have been a trigger person to generalization of Shikoku pilgrimage. The content of the story is as follows. Emon Saburo was avaricious and inhumanity. Saburo badly handled Kobo-Daishi Who was on the way of a local sermon tour. By divine punishment. Saburo's all eight children of died. He repents sin and became believe more in Buddhism It is saying that Saburo visited 88-temples many times for apology. He continued circling the Shikoku Shrine 21 times in search of the Kobo-Daishi(弘法大師) , and fall dead on the street in the mountains of No.12 Shouzanji(焼山寺). Kobo-Daishi(弘法大師) appeared in front of Saburo who was approaching death.Sabu apologized for crying past "mistakes" and was forgiven. The people living near that place kindly buried him. And they set the Kongou-stick(金剛杖) he had as a tomb. Buds emerged from the cane and grew into large cedar trees. Currently under the trees the building"Joshinan(杖杉庵)" is made.. If this story is true, there are lots of doubts. If it is a creation, We can understand as a story of a commandment saying "Unfortunate things can happen unless you are kind to the Pilgrims."
