Shrine Reijin in the museum

A samurai of a clan in Kyushu had his lord steal a treasure sword, and while searching for its whereabouts, he came up and down and became unable to walk due to the tiredness and illness of his trip.
One day, when a kind villager took care of such a samurai and took care of himself, the samurai found a person who looked like a thief and tried to recover the treasure sword, but he was in a fight.
The samurai said, "It is not really easy to find stolen or lost items in this world. Thanks to your kindness, the soul will stay here even if you die, and if there are lost or stolen items, we will be with you. I'll look for it. "The villagers worshiped the samurai there, called "Reijin-san."
If you ask for incense sticks, you will find something strangely lost.
