Hamaguchi the saviour
Explanation:
Hamaguchi saved the lives of the many of his fellow villagers of Hiro, Kii Province (current Hirogawa, Wakayama), when an enormous tsunami struck the Kii Peninsula in 1854. He set fire to stacks of rice sheaves as landmarks to guide villagers to safety. Lafcadio Hearn wrote a story about him in Gleanings in Buddha-Fields: Studies of Hand and Soul within the Far East (1897), called "Inamura no Hi: The burning rice fields".The story chronicled Goryo's heroism and accounts of his efforts were introduced into Japanese textbooks.
Hamaguchi participated in recovery efforts in Hiro, including the development of a seawall over 600 meters long, 20 meters wide and 5 meters high, which minimized damage from tsunamis in later years. He spent his own money on the project and hired 56,736 villagers to figure thereon.
As a token of account to his help and for the gratitude the villagers offered gifts for him and declared him as the god.
