With a loud crash the Thunder God falls to earth and hits his hip bone real hard. A doctor passing by treats the god, but . . .
A hunter from Sotogahama in Mutsu Province dies and is cast into hell because of the many lives he took while alive. In hell, he is tortured by a monstrous bird. Along with the gruesome scenes of hell and the rewards for how one lives in this word , the tale contains a pertinent message for today.
