"Genjo" in particular were involved in strange occurrences, such as when a "genjo" dashed out of the Imperial Palace by itself when the place was burnt down and when an ogre, who was attracted to its sound, stole a "genjo" and hung it by a piece of string from Suzakumon (the main, southern gate of the Palace City). 特に玄上の方は、内裏が焼失したときにひとりでに外へ飛び出したり、その音色に魅せられた鬼がこれを盗み出して、朱雀門から紐で吊り下ろしたといった不思議なことがあった。 |
