Description

Kochi Yosuzume Legend is a legend record associated with Kochi Prefecture. The Japanese public copy frames it through the International Research Center for Japanese Studies Database of Folklore and Yokai Traditions and treats the place as an entry point into the story. This English version keeps that source-and-place structure, so readers can move from the legend to related beings, kami, or sacred places without implying a single definitive interpretation. It does not add plot details beyond the supplied row.
