There is always an old house in the village that enshrines a god named Okunai-sama. The house is called Daido. The statue of the god is made from a mulberry wood with a face drawn on it, and a hole is made in the center of the square cloth, which is then covered from the top of the wood to make a costume. On the 15th of New Year's Day, people from all over the area come to this house to hold a festival. There is also a god named Oshira-sama. The statues of this god were also set up in the same way, and on the same day the villagers gathered to celebrate. In that ritual, face powder is sometimes applied to the face of the statues. There is always a room of one tatami mat in Daido. People who sleep at night in this room always encounter strange phenomena. It's common to have their pillow turned over. Or someone could pick them up or kick them out of the room. It never allows a person to sleep quietly.
〇Oshira-sama is a two-man god.This god is also present in the Ainu world. Their names are mentioned in the "Ezo Fuzoku Ibun".
〇In Kariwano Town, Yamagata Prefecture, there is a festival on the fifteenth day of the New Year, where the male and female genitalia, the gods of the market, are painted with face powder. This is a similar case.
