It is said, however, that Genkyo had no interest in women and whenever a woman made advances, as soon as he finished collecting offerings from believers and eating Otoki (a meal served at a Buddhist memorial service), he said 'Well, have a good day' and started to run at full speed again.
ただ、女性には全く興味がなく、言い寄る女性があっても、信徒のお布施とお斎を済ませれば、「はい、さようなら」と一目散にまた走り出したという。
