When the typhoon passed, a huge red rock soared over the Kanda where Negichi was being built. The islanders, who have deep faith and reverence for the gods, attributed this evil to Negichi's disorderly behavior, which had angered the gods, and the ward mayor, Ryu, ordered a hole to be dug and the giant rock to be cleaned up. From that day on, Negichi continued to dig a hole for more than 20 years... Picture disc specification.
