Origin

According to legend, there was once a daughter of a landlord named Kiyohime. Her family was wealthy enough to entertain and lodge priests and monks who frequented the road of her village. One day, a handsome priest named Anchin came to stay at their house. Kiyohime and Anchin fell in love, but Anchin true to his vows managed to overcome his feeling and flees. Kiyohime was furious at his change of heart and pursued him angrily.

Anchin managed to convince a boatman to transport him across the Hidaka river and told the boatman not to give his services to Kiyohime. Anchin managed to find sanctuary in the monastery of Dojo-ji and the abbot of Dojo-ji hid him under the temple bell. Fueled with rage, Kiyohime jumped into the river and swam across, whilst her rage transformed her into a dragon. As the monstrous Kiyohime reached the shore, she picked up the scent of Anchin and found him under the temple bell. The Dragon then coiled around the bell a few times, banged it loudly with its tail and finally set fire to the bell with Anchin inside, killing him. The dragon then dived into the Hidaka and was never seen again.
