On the opposite side of the little hollow, carefully posed upon a great loose rock, I see something equally artless and almost equally curious a kitoja-no-mono, or ex-voto. Two straw figures joined together and reclining side by side: a straw man and a straw woman.
The workmanship is childishly clumsy; but still, the woman can be distinguished from the man by .the ingenious attempt to imitate the female coiffure with a straw wisp. And as the man is represented with a queue now worn only by aged survivors of the feudal era I suspect that this kitoja-no-mono was made after some ancient and strictly conventional model.
