However, Hachimangami doesn't come every night. At that time, some nobles or wealthy people could even visit the east and west during the same period. But Hashihime can only sit by the bridge, looking forward to the arrival of the god Hachiman every night. The graceful goddess looked out into the distance on the river, which stimulated the imagination of many ancient singers, leaving behind many famous waka songs.

Murasaki Shikibu also knew the legend of Uji Hashihime, and in "The Tale of Genji", Uji Jujo wrote the sad love story of three women, including "Hashihime" and "Ukifune". In the early and mid-Heian period, the aristocracy often pinned their love distress and longing on waka or poetry, and sublimated it into a kind of beauty. Therefore, during this period, Hashihime was always an image of a sad and beautiful goddess who was waiting for her lover to come.

At the end of the Heian period, Hashihime was no longer a goddess, but a common woman.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a woman guarding the bridge by the Uji Bridge, and people called her Hashihime. Hashihime also has a husband, and when she was pregnant, she had severe morning sickness and vomited whatever she ate. The husband couldn't look past it, and said to Hashihime:

What do you want to eat? Let's talk about it. I'll definitely try to find it.

Hashihime thought for a moment and said:

I used to eat wakame from Ise, and I thought it was delicious. If that's the case, I think I should be able to eat it.

Okay, I'll fetch it for you.

The husband immediately went to Ise (Mie Prefecture). After a few days, he still didn't come back. Hashihime was very uneasy and also set off for Ise to look for her husband. She wandered along the coast, and as a result, the hazy figure of her beloved appeared in the waves. Water droplets all over the body, and the face is bloodless. The husband squirmed pale lips and recited a song:

็ตต (ใ•ใ‚€ใ—ใ‚) ใซใ“ใ‚ใ‚‚็‰‡ๆ•ท (ใ‹ใŸใ—ใ) ไปŠๅฎต (ใ“ใ‚ˆใ„) ใ‚‚ใ‚„

ใ‚ใ‚Œใ‚’ๅพ…ใค(ใพใค)ใ‚‰ใ‚€ๅฎ‡ๆฒป(ใ†ใ˜)ใฎๆกฅๅงซ(ใฏใ—ใฒใ‚)

Meaning: There is only one person's clothes on the straw mat, and he is still waiting for me tonight.

Hashihime was taken aback and wanted to run to her husband, but he disappeared. At this time, Hashihime realized that her husband accidentally fell into the sea and drowned in order to pick wakame from the coastal rocks. Hashihime can only return to Uji in grief.

The above-mentioned waka is an ancient song from the "Ancient and Modern Waka Collection", Volume 14, Love Song 4, and the author is unknown. During the Heian period, men and women spent the night together, and they usually took off their clothes and spread them on the mat as bedding. Katashiki is a piece of clothing that is only spread for one person, which means sleeping alone.

The legendary Hashihime is not a goddess, nor is she a noble woman hiding in a curtain in The Tale of Genji, but a bridge keeper woman who is a commoner, and seems to live with her husband. And the husband picks wakame from a distance for the sake of his pregnant wife, which is also very common. ใ€ใ€‘

In the Middle Ages, when the law and order were not good, it was not uncommon for the husband to die in a foreign country, leaving behind a wife who was pregnant with Rokka, and waiting for her husband to return all night.

The era is pushed back - the Kamakura period

It is said that a woman who was abandoned by her husband went to Kifune Shrine to pray to the gods for revenge on her husband's behalf. Then a priest told the woman:

And thou shalt tie thy hair into five horns, and thou shalt wear three stilted hoops, and thou shalt light a fire with three feet, and thy face shall be painted red, and shall be clothed in red, and shall be filled with wrath, and shall go to the south. Immerse yourself in the Uji River 3721 in this posture, and you will be able to get your wish.

The woman did as the priest said, immersed herself in the Uji River and prayed, and finally turned into a terrifying female ghost on the night of the full moon. After that, she killed her negative husband and her husband's new love as she wished.

This legend is the prototype of the Noh ballad "Iron Wheel". "Tales of the Past and Present", "The Tale of the Heike Family" from the Kamakura period? There are similar stories in the sword scroll and in the second volume of the collection of words from the Kamakura period, "Idlers".

Qiao Ji is no longer the woman who waited for Lang Jun infatuatedly, but if you dare to abandon me, my mother will give you a good look! The Fierce Girl.

There is also a legend of a female ghost on a bridge in Kyoto. Due to the long history of the bridge, there are various legends, but the origin of the name of the bridge is as follows:

At the beginning of the Heian period, when the funeral procession passed by this bridge, he happened to meet the Kiyoyuki Yatsuo Jozo Noble House, who had been practicing in a foreign country and had returned from Kumano. After Jozo prayed wholeheartedly, Kiyoyuki woke up, and father and son were able to say their final goodbyes. Later, people called this bridge the bridge. (ๆˆพ: ใ‚‚ใฉใ‚Š, meaning to come back.) ๏ผ‰

And the military general in the middle of the Heian period, Minamoto Yorimitsu (948~1021), the retainer Watanabe Tsunade (953~1025), one day when passing by the bridge, happened to meet a beautiful woman. Watanabe Tsunade accidentally looked at the river under the bridge, and found that the shadow reflected in the water was a female ghost, so he immediately pulled out the famous knife given by his master and cut off the female ghost's right arm. Yuan Laiguang stored his arm in the box, but in the future, he fell for the female ghost who turned into an old mother and deceived his arm back. This story is also recorded in "The Tale of the Heike Family? Sword Scroll.

There is a small Hashihime Shrine on the west side of Uji Bridge, which is said to be the goddess who severed the relationship between men and women, and locals usually avoid passing in front of the shrine when they hold weddings. The shrine is enshrined in a female ghost statue with a naked upper body, a crimson hakama on the lower body, a snake wrapped around her left hand, and a fishing hook in her right hand.

The Seto Shinchu Japanese Tea Bowl (tea bottle) is worth 50 koko, and has a slightly curved barrel shape. Referring to the ancient and modern concentrations, "I still sleep alone tonight, and Ujibashi Hime enters my heart." And take the name.
