The priest 白雲 in the 25th generation of 清泰寺 the temple Seitai-Ji once did not bring them back.
A few days later, a woman came and asked to have the bowls and trays back.
But the priest cut her outstreched white arms with a sword.
When the woman was about to disappear, a huge serpent with white cut-off arms could be seen.
Since then no more bowls and trays were given at the river bank.
