The Gods of Poverty Play Sumo; Trip, Trip; The Hat Jizou Statue (3x38)


: 28, 2014

A hard working family refuses to give in to poverty so the God of Poverty haunting them is to be fired. But they want him to stay. A strange child shouts, "Poor! Trip!" at a poor elderly couple on new years. A poor man gives a priest statue a straw hat, and is given blessings in return (this tale is a renewal).
