In May 1890, a large fire lost 14 houses in both Matsuba and Aiuchi villages (there were 15 houses in Matsuba at that time), and it finally calmed down in the evening. In order to protect the village from repeated disasters that caused a fire again this year, he prayed for no fire at Kompira-gu Shrine in Shikoku, and returned to the village after receiving a room and bill in the shape of Kompira-gu Shrine. In the village, a shrine was built on Mt. Asahi in the center of the area, and every year on January 10th of the lunar calendar, a fire-free prayer is held naked.
