Doji Yuo

Morehei Yuo was a minor daimyo of the Doji family who had a palace on an island just offshore of Mura Sabishii Toshi. The palace was a favourite summer home of the nobility of the Doji and Kakita families, and in the bay of the island was a large bronze statue of Suitengu, the [[Fortune] of the Sea. Roughly four hundred years ago, there was a tremendous earthqeake that sunk the island into the sea. The city disapeared beneath the waves, but the statue's shoulders and head still stand above water, and have been called the "Sea King" by passing sailors. Pearl divers claim the village that was there still stands, but where the palace stood is only a giant fissure in the ground. (Crane p. 109)
