Hashihime (Red Tape: Hashihime; Japanese: はしひめ) is a banshee (a kind of deified youkai) and a god who appears on the side of the bridge, and belongs to the Japanese water demon and water god. Suicide by jumping from a bridge into the water because he is infatuated with others and unable to be with his beloved, if a man crosses the bridge at night, he will appear and lead him into the water to drown, and if a woman crosses the bridge, he will forcibly pull him into the water. Hashihime is also seen in "Meiji Demon Chronicle", and there are many legends and stories about her.
In addition to referring specifically to the goddess of the bridge, the Japanese word "Hashihime" is also used to refer to the prostitutes who stood by the bridge during the Edo period and the prostitutes in the "tea houses" located near the bridge.
It is the goddess of the Uji River, whose name is \'''Hashihime\'\', and it is also the title of the forty-fifth chapter of "The Tale of Genji", which is written about the late autumn from the age of 20 to the end of 22. Among them are poems:
"Save the heart of the bridge and the tears of the green mountains", in this paragraph, the bridge is compared to the son-in-law.
"Hashihime" is a banshee that appears by the bridge, and there are many stories about her:
Once upon a time, a couple lived on the shores of the Uji River. One day, her husband suddenly said that he was going to the Dragon Palace, and he left home and never came back. His wife died of grief and appeared on the bridge as a ghost. There is also a legend that a woman went crazy with jealousy because her husband married a second wife, and after she died, she turned into "Hashihime" Another legend is that "Hashihime" is the goddess of the Ujigawa River, and the god Sumiyoshi meets with her every night, and when it is dawn when he is about to leave, "Hashihime" will be furious with excessive sadness.
There is another story about a jealous woman who wanted to curse the object of her jealousy to death, so she immersed herself in water every night to perform a curse ritual, and finally turned into a demon to take revenge. This monster is born out of jealousy, and whenever you see a beautiful woman, it will bring misfortune to the other person. Therefore, in order to avoid the curse of "Hashihime", the wedding procession can only change the route and take a detour to the bride's house.
In addition to the Ujigawa River, there is also a legend of "Hashihime", which is similar to the story that "the father was used as a sacrifice for the construction of the bridge with a long handle, and the wild pheasant would not be shot by you if he did not chirp", in which the father became a living sacrifice for the construction of the bridge, and the daughter appeared on the bridge as a demon out of resentment, causing harm to passers-by who crossed the bridge.
There are also quite a lot of theories and various circulars about Hashihime, and the interpretation varies from one literary work to another.
It is generally said that Hashihime was a monster who committed suicide by throwing herself into a river on the bridge because of her ugly face and not being loved by the man she loved, or because she was forcibly robbed of her love by others. In the past, Japan also had a certain emphasis on women's suicide methods, such as samurai or men could only end themselves by disembowelment, while women could only end their lives by throwing themselves into the river, because they represented the jealous resentment of infatuated women, so this kind of yokai was usually more terrifying. For example, in "Meiji Demon Chronicle", the bridge is like this, because she loves the man she loves but can't be with him, and finally commits suicide by jumping off the Uji Bridge, and after turning into the bridge hime, if a man, especially the type of man she likes in front of her, passes by here at night, she will appear on the bridge, use all kinds of charming methods to tempt the man, and then seduce him into the water and drown; Of course, Hashihime's target is not just men, because of strong jealousy, if a woman who looks prettier than herself passes by, Hashihime will forcibly pull her into the water and drown.
In addition, the Japanese word "Hashihime", also known as Hashimei, is a female ghost but extremely ugly with a man-like face, and is a kind of banshee that appears by the bridge, and there are many stories about her.
Ujihashi Hime
Since ancient times, the Japanese believed that every bridge was guarded by a goddess, and among the many legends related to the bridge, Ujibashi Hime is the most famous, and whenever Hashihime is mentioned, it usually refers to the goddess of Ujibashi. Built in 646, Uji Bridge is the oldest surviving bridge in Japan.
Legend has it that in the distant era of the gods, Uji Hashihime and Riknomiya Hachiman God were lovers, and Hachiman God came to see Hashihime every night along the Yodo River, Seta River, and Uji River. Rikyu Hachimangu Shrine is a shrine built in the early Heian period on the ruins of Emperor Saga's Imperial Palace, located in Oyamazaki, Kyoto Prefecture.
Since the marriage pattern at that time was a visiting wife, the man usually went to the woman's house after dusk to spend the night and left at dawn the next day, so it was thought that the marriage pattern of the gods was probably the same. And every day at dawn, the waves of the Uji River are the most turbulent, so even if you don't see your body, people know that Hachimanjin is going back. (To be continued.)
