Tanaba Grave

Zimbo

Original Text

Almost all the island residents died in the tsunami. It seems that the only pregnant woman who was saved became her child and her husband and wife. It is his grave. Gassho!

One of the legends of Hachijo Island

Original Text

It is a place based on the legend of Danaba, which is one of the legends of the Genesis of Hachijo Island, that "a pregnant woman who saved herself by the great tsunami gave birth to a boy, and after her child became an adult, she intersected with her mother and child to increase her descendants." It seems that it was erected in the Sueyoshi district around 1887. It seems to be derived from Tomizo Kondo's description of "Hachijo Jitsuki", but it is quite interesting because there is a theory that there is a doubt about the consistency with other historical materials.
