Description

In the legends on Nuwa Island, in Ehime Prefecture and in the folklore publication Sōgō Nippon Minzoku Goi, legends about a mysterious atmospheric light are indicated. 

This fire occurs at night on New Year's Eve behind the shrine of the patron saint of the Shinto god on Nuwa Island. His appearance is accompanied by sounds similar to human screams, and is interpreted by locals as a sign of the appearance of the goddess of luck.
