参道を登って行く途中に、見逃すかも知れないくらいのですが、小さな犬の像があります。首のところに赤い色の袋を提げている。これが、”こんぴら犬”とよべれているものです。
There was a legend that dogs came and paid respects to the Deity( 神）on behalf of their keepers.In the bag hanging from a dog's neck was journey's expenses. What is journey's expenses? I wondered why and telephoned the shrine's office.A young female staff said to me because dog had to ride on boats on its way here,and also had to eat food. People take money from the bag.it is said that thanks offering for the year's first harvests is in the bag. I came to love this story. Please look at Konpira Dog next time.
