船幽霊 · Kujūkuri coast, Chiba · 1932
Rice balls first, then the bottomless ladle
What the record says
Out at sea off the Kujūkuri beach in Kazusa, funayūrei often appear. Throw them rice balls and you escape harm; fail to, and a second boat appears asking to borrow a ladle. Lend one and they pour water in with it and sink you, so the ladle you lend must have its bottom knocked out.
Our summary in English of the record as catalogued; the original card is in Japanese.
