Description:
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. See "Dojoji" in our dictionary.
