Biwa Fall near Oboke Canyon, Tokushima prefecture (Shikoku island)
Named after a legend that Heike fugitives played the biwa, an old mandarin-shaped guitar from China, to comfort each other in front of the fall. There are many sayings about loser refugees of Heike clan in Shikoku, which founds none in Kyoto, the then capital city in Heian period.

I have seen it only at Nara National Museum’s Annual Shoso-in Treasure Repository Exhibition. I sometimes find them in old tales but I wonder there still exists any player.

There were monk bards for telling/singing the story as playing the biwa in old time. All Japanese are forced to memorize the head part in classical literature class at high school.
大歩危峡近隣の琵琶の滝（徳島県）
平家の落人がこの滝の前で互いを慰めあって琵琶を奏でたところからこの滝の名前が付いたそう。四国では平家の落人伝説の話をちらほら聞く。京都ではまず聞かないので興味深い。
Oboke Canyon, Tokushima prefecture (Shikoku island). It is right on Japan Median Tectonic Line (an active fault), which crosses from Kyushu to Kanto area through Shikoku.
