The tragic love story of Anchin and Kiyohime is a tale from Encho 6, 230 years after the founding of the temple. The tragedy of the "Story of Anchin and Kiyohime"—in which Kiyohime falls in love with the monk Anchin who sought a night's lodging while on a pilgrimage, burns with the flames of passion, turns into a giant snake upon realizing she was betrayed to pursue him, and finally burns Anchin to death after he fled inside the bell of Dojo-ji—was recorded in the "Hokke Genki" (11th century), and is well known as "Dojo-ji Mono" in Noh, Ningyo Joruri, and Kabuki.
