She is often depicted with the Japanese lute, the biwa, and her shrines are located mostly along the seacoast. The following legend will show why.

Fifteen centuries ago was not Enoshima. There was at that spot just a cave that only a small portion protruding above the water. There lived a dragon, the most terrible of all dragons. He could swim, but also move over land. From his huge mouth stakes hundreds, pointed teeth. His favorite food was the soft flesh of young children.

He always wandered along the coasts in search of children who were bathing. Then he suddenly popped out of the water, grabbed his victim and devoured it. The mother screamed with terror when they saw it, but it was too late, the monster had disappeared into the depths. There was mourning in the family of the victim. The parents decided to look better and some of them had their children may no longer bathe in the sea. But then sought out the dragon other distant places to catch its prey.

The goddess Geisha this was an eyesore. After all, she wants all men to be happy and not be threatened by monsters. They thought about how they might make to the ferocity of the dragon to an end.

On a good day the cave in which the sample was housed completely enveloped by clouds. Was On one of them the goddess descended. By her will the dragon cave rose from the waves and appeared entirely above the water. Around the earth grew and was covered with large forests. As the island of Enoshima. Arose

The dragon was the cave and saw the miracle happen. He saw that the goddess descended from heaven and came to him while they display spread her sweetest smile. She spoke to him: "Do you live alone in this cave not you bored than Is there no one around you cares what should make you feel unhappy Why should we not actually marry each other we would??? happy to be together and we could also have children ... You should really come to love your children and ... and ... you would not think about to devour. "children of others

So Geisha spoke for a long time. And really the dragon let himself be persuaded and gave his consent to a marriage.

Not that it's a happy marriage was right - that the differences were too great - but it is certain that the dragon did it a bit easier from then and that the children had nothing to fear from him.
