In addition, the story in "Konjaku monogatari" (Tales of Times Now Past) told that a suspicious fat night heron appeared every night in the garden of Higashi sanjo dono, so the Prince called a yin-yang diviner, and a copper hisage (a Japanese sake bottle) appeared from the corner of south-east, then the night heron never appeared again.
また『今昔物語』に登場する話では、東三条殿の庭園に怪しい太った五位が夜な夜な姿を見せるので、親王が怪しんで陰陽師に占わせると東南の隅から銅の提（ひさげ）が現れ、以後五位は姿を見せなくなったという。
