Ancient
987 AD
Around 987 AD, during the Heinan age of Japan, one of the daughters of the Fujiwara family was sent to Matsuyama to learn writing. She used to take long walks in the forest and use animals and birds to visualize characters. One day she yelled at a fish for stealing her toy. To her surprise, the fish was actually a kappa demon and it responded back stating that it didn’t take it but because it felt sorry for her, it will give her a sacred stone for her to play with. One night, she planned to elope with a prince who was already promised her hand. He was interested in another family’s daughter so he planned to lure this princess into the forest and kill her. He stabs her with a spear that pierces her liver and kills her. The forest spirits save her unborn child and this child is raised secretly by a witch. When the girl is older, the witch gives her the sacred stone that belonged to her mother and tells her the story. The daughter Kani, rushes to the lake and calls out to the Kappa. When the Kappa shows up, she asks it to grant her wish in exchange for the sacred stone. The Kappa tells her that the stone is just a poisonous mushroom. Upon learning this, she curses the Kappa and swallows the mushroom and dies. This story was written by a famous female author from that time who later denounced having written the story make it a dead story (like a dead letter).
