  summary: The passage concludes a tale in which a condemned rascal escapes drowning
    by deceiving a blind old man, then deceives a chief into being drowned and takes
    his place. It then introduces editorial notes on Yoshitsune/Hongai Sama and begins
    a myth in which Okikurumi, aided by his sister Tureshihi, teaches arts to the
    Ainos and possesses two knowledge-giving treasures. A divine-appearing stranger
    becomes his helper and brother-in-law, steals the treasures and possessions, flees
    by boat with Tureshihi, and escapes pursuit when Tureshihi creates a mountain
    in the sea from excrement.

    is uncertain.
comparison_claims:

  claim: The passage itself connects Yoshitsune/Hongai Sama with a Japanese heroic
    tradition by stating that Yoshitsune was a twelfth-century Japanese hero and that
    Hongai derives from his Japanese title.

  confidence: medium
  limitations: This is an editorial claim within the source; the passage also records
    disagreement about whether the Ainos worship Yoshitsune.
- id: claim:2
  claim: The editorial note cautiously frames the Yoshitsune/Hongai Sama material
    as mythic by saying the details bear the stamp of myth and may belong in the collection.
