The father could earn only two or three yen a month, and the mother was ill and could not work; and there were two children a boy of six years and a boy of eight. And they were strangers in Tottori. One winter's day the father sickened; and after a week of suffering he died, and was buried. Then the long-sick mother followed him, and the children were left alone.
Now, there is an old story the Story of the Futon of Tottori. But the danna-sama knows that story? Indeed, the danna-sama does not, and begs earnestly to hear it. And the story is set down somewhat as I learn it through the lips of my interpreter. 9 Many years ago, a very small yadoya in Tottori town received its first guest, an itinerant merchant.
At a fitting moment my Japanese attendant delicately changes the theme, and begins a light chat about our journey, and the danna-sama's interest in the old customs and legends of the coast. And he succeeds in amusing her by some relation of our wanderings in Izumo. She asks whither we are going. My attendant answers probably as far as Tottori. 'Aa! Tottori! So degozarimasu ka?
But there is now being erected by voluntary subscription, at the little village of Gosen-goku-mura, near Yonago in Tottori, quite a handsome monument of stone to the memory of his daughter, the princess Hinako-Nai-Shinno who died there while attempting to follow her august parent into exile.
