血洗い池
この小さな池は、元はもっと大きくて海につながっており、地元の漁師が嵐の際に船を避難させるのに使われていました。伝承では、九鬼が池の近くで自害した後、介錯人（切腹を見届け、本人が腹を切った後その首を刀で切る剣士）を務めた腹心の家臣が、九鬼の刀をこの池の水で洗ったと言われています。池の名前は英語で「blood-washing pond（血を洗う池）」という意味です。

English
Chiarai-ike Pond
This tiny pond was originally much larger and connected to the sea, and local fishermen used it to shelter their boats during storms. Legend has it that after Kuki committed suicide on its banks, his trusted “second” (the swordsman charged with overseeing the ceremony, who would behead the principal to complete the ritual) cleaned Kuki’s blade in these waters. The pond’s name means “blood-washing pond” in English.
