As the mother of the bishop of Yokawa was taken ill, he descended the mountain to see her. His disciples found an expanse of white behind the Uji temple. They brought their torches and approached the figure. It was a girl with long and lustrous hair leaning against the root of a tree. They tried to take her clothes off to find out whether she was human or a fox, which had taken a human shape. Then she wept bitterly. It was not a fox but Ukifune. The bishop took her to his sister who lived as a nun in the Ono village.
