The Maiden of Dojoji
A beautiful image with cherry blossom background based on a
very dramatic legend of Kiyohime and Anchin. Kiyohime falls in love with a young
priest named Anchin but he resists her charms and hides under the bell of Dojoji
temple; she, however, is so enraged that she turns into a demonic serpent whose
fiery breath burns the bell and Anchin.
