Ichijo return bridge - Ichijo return bridge

Japanese: 一条戻橋 - いちじょうもどりばし

This bridge spans Ichijo-dori Street on the Horikawa River in Kyoto. Throughout the ancient and medieval period, it was the border of Kyoto and known as a place for bridge divination. The name of the bridge comes from the story that when Miyoshi's son, Jozo, received news of his father's death, he hurried back to Kyoto and encountered his father's funeral procession on this bridge. When he lamented, Kiyoyuki briefly revived. There is also a famous story about Watanabe no Tsuna, one of the four heavenly kings of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, cutting off the arm of a demon that had transformed into a beautiful woman on this bridge.

京都堀川の一条通りに架かる橋。古代・中世を通じて京域の境とされ，橋占(はしうら)の場所として知られる。橋の名は，三善清行死去の報を受けた子の浄蔵が，急ぎ帰洛し，この橋の上で父の葬列に出会い，嘆き悲しむと，清行が一時蘇生した，という話に由来する。源頼光の四天王渡辺綱がこの橋の上で美女に化けた鬼の腕を切り落とした話は有名。
