"Kannon Reigen Ki" (The Stories about the Miracles by the Goddess Kannon) The 23th pilgrimage place, KachioTemple in Settsu province. The queen of Hyakusai-koku. Although she was still young, her hair became all white for some unknown reason. They tried many methods to cure the symptom without any success. One night, she dreamed of the venerable Buddhisattva of Kachio temple in Japan. She faced toward Japan and prayed to the Buddhisattva earnestly. Her hair returned to the former state. The king and the queen were very pleased and they sent three precious gifts to Kachio temple by their merchant-messengers.
