Chittering sparrow of Kumano guiding night walkers down mountain passes, keeping darker shadows at bay.
A legend said to have originated near Kumano Hongū Taisha. When walking at night, a sparrow may follow you, chirping softly as it goes. It is believed to protect travelers from evil spirits and safely guide them to their destination. However, legend also warns that a wolf may be following close behind the sparrow, so one should remain vigilant.
