A man was hurrying home one night and a piece of white cloth came flying and coiled around his neck, so the man slashed it with his short sword, and then it disappeared leaving blood on the man's hand, according to an old folktale.
ある男が夜に家路を急いでいたところ、白い布が飛んで来て首に巻きつき、脇差しで布を切りつけたところ、布は消え、男の手には血が残っていたという伝承もある。
