Miyagi 大崎市 Osaki city 古川宮沢 Furukawamiyazawa
West of the swamp 化女沼 Kejonuma lived a rich person. He had a beautiful daughter and the rich lord of a manor wanted her as his wife. He refused, but he was punished and had to leave the village, so he went to 最上 Mogami. The servants stood by the highway roadside as he passed. His daughter took a purse with money and jumped into the swamp. All the fish in the swamp went with her and swam to Mogami, where there is now a small pond. She had some red lacquer plates which she could not take. They are still in the swamp and if horses walk nearby, their hooves may turn red from the lacquer.
- quote wikipedia -
Kejyonuma Dam (Japanese: 化女沼ダム) is an earthen dam in the city of Ōsaki, Miyagi Prefecture, completed in 1995.
The dam crosses the Tajiri River, a branch of the Kitakami River and utilises the basin of a pre-existing natural lake.
A 34 hectare portion of the wetlands at Lake Kejyonuma has been protected since October 2008 as a Ramsar site in Japan.

Once the kannushi 神主 Shinto priest from 七村 Nanamura was accompanied by a wolf on his way home, but the animal suddenly bit into his sleeve and since he could not get rid of it, he was taken to the top of the mountain. The wolf dug a hole there and stuffed the priest inside to hide him.
A short while later a thousand wild wolves passed the highway in a parade.
Thus the kind wolf had saved the priest.
