This is a pool in Fujisawa that is one of the best sights in the Kanagawa Prefecture. The name is derived from a legend which tells of a priest, Jikyu, chief of the sub-temple Kotokuan, who fell in love with Shiragiku, a boy servant (known as //chigo//) at the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine. Beautiful //chigo// were often kept by pederasts. Surprisingly, the priest practiced pederasty and tried to coerce Shiragiku into a sexual relationship. The boy fled to Enoshima and committed suicide by drowning himself in the water, hence the name Chigo-ga-fuchi (//fuchi// meaning 'deep pool'). The priest immediately followed suit and took his own life as well. ---- ===Category=== [[Locations]] chigo_fuchi.txt Last modified: 2021/07/27 14:22(external edit)
