[1][一] 和歌山県日高郡日高川町鐘巻にある天台宗の寺。山号は天音山。大宝元年（七〇一）文武天皇の勅願により、開山は義淵(ぎえん)、紀道成の創建と伝えられる。安珍清姫の伝説で有名。鐘巻寺。千手院。[二] 謡曲。四番目物。各流。作者未詳。古曲「鐘巻(かねまき)」を短く改作したもの。紀州道成寺の鐘供養に参詣した白拍子が女人禁制の寺内にはいり込み、舞を舞いながら鐘に近づきその中に飛び込むと鐘は落下する。住僧は、昔、荘司の娘に慕われてこの寺に逃げてきた山伏がつき鐘に隠れたところ、娘の執念が蛇体となって鐘に巻きつき、鐘をとかして山伏を殺したといういわれを語り、その白拍子こそが娘の怨霊だろうと祈念をする。すると鐘は再び上がり、中から蛇体となった娘が現われ鐘にたたりをなそうとしたが、祈り伏せられ日高川に飛び入って姿を消す。道成寺伝説に基づいた作で、この道の芸の登龍門であるだけでなく、後世の文芸に大きな影響を及ぼした。[三] 「京鹿子娘道成寺」を代表とする道成寺伝説を素材にした歌舞伎狂言。[2] 一般に、道成寺物を演じること。また、その興行。これが演じられると必ず雨が降るといわれた。※雑俳・冠独歩行（1702）「出来すぎて雷落る道成寺」
