The Docks(The maiden of the bridge)
Hashihime (橋姫?) ("the maiden of the bridge"[1]) is a character that first appeared in Japanese Heian-period literature, represented as a woman who spends lonely nights waiting for her lover to visit, and later as a fierce “oni” or demon fueled by jealousy. She came to be associated most often with a bridge in Uji.
Hashihime first appears in a Kokinshu (ca. 905) poem, of which the author is unknown:
- “Upon a narrow grass mat
- laying down her robe only
- tonight, again –
- she must be waiting for me,
- Hashihime of Uji”
Hashihime’s name also appears in Murasaki’s The Tale of Genji, as the title of a chapter. She is also mentioned several times in the waka poems throughout the work.

3 Stone lanterns 3.2 Types of stone lantern 3.2.4 Yukimi-dōrō
Yukimi-dōrō (雪見燈籠?) or legged lanterns have as a base not a post but from one to six curved legs, and a wide umbrella with a finial either low or absent. Relatively low, they are used exclusively in gardens.[8] The traditional placement is near the water, and a three-legged lantern will often have two legs in the water, and one on land. The umbrella can be round or have from three to eight sides, while the fire box is usually hexagonal.
It was probably developed during the Momoyama period, but the oldest extant examples, found at the Katsura Villa in Kyoto, go back only to the early Edo period (seventeenth century).[8]
