A JAPANESE LEGEND.

at ChOSht.
Most Shinto shrines in Japan have a
story. Here Is one which is told of the
leading shrine Of Choshi: A traveller
was entertained in the home of a rich
mar A daughter of the host fell in
love with the traveller, who did not
care for her because she wal ugly.
Being under obligation to the family,
he could not ignore the girls love, so
he told her hat he meant t. drown
himself the next day. She decided to
do the same and did 1t. The traveller
gave up the deaf he eve had II.
One Of the gods changed the girl into
a fish, and to this day the fishermen Of
the town often see that particular fish
In the waters near their shores. Some
times she Is caught In the nets. but she
Is always reverently returned to the
sea. A shrine was erected on the hill
above the town and dedicated to the
memory Of the girl fish.
Before starting out to sea the fisher
men go to this shrine to pray for good
luck, and in their absence the families
continue to invoke the favor Of the god.
A storm at sea or absence of good luck
means that the fish god has been Of
Tended and must be appeased by spe-
