An elderly couple who prayed for a child were blessed with a boy just one inch tall, Issun-boshi, who never grew any bigger. As a teenager, he traveled to Kyoto using a bowl as a boat and a sewing needle as a sword to find his fortune, eventually serving a noble family and winning the affection of the lord's daughter. When fierce demons attacked during a pilgrimage, he bravely fought them, defeating the leader from the inside after being swallowed whole. He then used the demon's magical wishing mallet to grow to a normal size, married the noblewoman, and lived a prosperous and happy life.
