Mouse Pure Land - Nezumi Jodo
Also known as "The Rolling Rice Ball" or "The Mouse Pounding Rice Cakes."

The old man next door tries to imitate him, but fails. It is a folk tale thought to have originated from trade with foreign lands. The story of receiving money from a demon's gambling game in return for giving food to Jizo is called Jizo Jodo.
