Kiyohime was a young woman scorned by her lover, a monk named Anchin,
who grew cold and lost interest in her. Realizing he had left her,
Kiyohime followed him to a river and transformed into a serpent while
swimming after his boat. Terrified by her monstrous form, Anchin sought
refuge in a temple, where monks hid him beneath a bell. Not to be
evaded, Kiyohime found him by his scent, coiled around the bell, and
banged loudly on it with her tail. She then breathed fire onto the bell,
melting it and killing Anchin.
