Daidoji Haranobu

Daidoji Haranobu was a governor whose son, Daidoji Hisao, was betrothed to Seppun Meiko. Because his son's Seppun wife-to-be would bring his house much honor, he secured Benten Seidō for the wedding locale, sparing no expense. Unfortunately, the wedding was postponed after nine straight days of rain. A group of samurai found that Suzume Hinagiku, Hisao's beloved childhood friend, had come to the shrine and provoked Benten's anger on the wedding, because Haranobu would dare hold a loveless wedding at her shrine.
