“
With the completion of this sacred staff, I will end your farming career. Please understand. ... There are many people like yourself, who have sincere faith in kamis, but still have many problems. Help these people by performing toritsugi. This will help Kami and save people. Man exists because of Kami, and Kami exists because of man. Thus, Kami supports man as Kami's child, and man supports Kami as his parent. There will be eternal prosperity through aiyo kakeyo, mutual interdependency.
