Nagawacho Wada Kyuin Shrine
"After a heavy, continuous downpour, floods swept through and clusters of earthworms about one shaku long died. After that, an epidemic broke out in this area and caused a great uproar. People said, 'It's the curse of the earthworms,' so they built a small shrine and enshrined the earthworms."
Kyuin (earthworm) may have transformed into a deity, and it is called 'Okin-sama.'
The earthworm's form is... 😘
