Genbeibuchi 源兵衛渕 the river pool of Gohei
About 20 meters downriver from 御霊屋橋 the bridge Mitamayabashi there is a river pool.
During お盆 the O-Bon season, the young men from the area gathered here to discuss catching unagi 鰻 eel when a priest came along and told them:
"You should not kill any living being during the O-Bon season!"
The priest had been to a home before and partaken of the food offerings of mugimeshi 麦飯 cooked rice with wheat.
源兵衛 Gohei thought that the priest must have been the eel master of the river pool.
They used poison to catch eels, and when one floated up, they caught it and opened its stomach. Inside was
mugimeshi 麦飯 cooked rice with wheat, which they had offered to the priest.
Genbei died of the curse of killing an eel and the area was called after him, Genbeibuchi.
