Legend had it that Prince Shōtoku Taishi was once playing the flute while riding on a horse when, suddenly,
a mountain god charmed by the melody appeared before him in the shape of a monkey and improvised a dance.
The monkey-face mask still used by the dancer could thus be taken as evidence
that the bugaku piece is a depiction of this scene.

Aramachi no Bishamon 荒町の毘沙門

栗野大膳の北目城が常に黒雲に覆われて攻めにくいのは、城の守護神毘沙門のためだというので、伊達政宗は「今より立派なお堂を建てて奉斎するからお力を貸してほしい」と願をかけたら、雲が晴れて城を落とせた。約束通り仙台に移すとき、敵味方どっちの願いも叶える毘沙門ではあてにならぬと、荒町で捨ててしまった。近所の子供がかついで遊ぶのを見つけ、大人たちが堂を建て、梵鐘を奉納したが重くて吊るせない。子供たちの知恵で鐘の下に板を差し込み高くして吊るすことができた。毘沙門はお礼に、子供達の「赤ん坊のお守をさせないで」との願いを聞き、それ以来荒町では子供に子守をさせない。祭には毘沙門の好きな子供角力を奉納する。

hakuhatsu no nyonin 白髪の女人
高前寺 the Temple Kozen-Ji の梵鐘は一名横取りの梵鐘といい、日蓮宗に信仰のある富豪が奉納したものであるが、完成した後富士川の鰍沢から身延山を目指しての下りの船で天神ヶ滝の難所を過ぎて鴨狩に近付いたときに奇石に座礁した。この巌に竜波穴と称する謎の巌谷があり、難破の彼方に白髪の女人が現れて申すには、梵鐘は近くの寺に納めて、身延山奉納は改めてみてはどうかという意味だった。それにより 高前寺に納めたため、横取りの梵鐘という。
