It is said that Taira no Kiyomori, who opened up the Ondo Strait, completed the difficult work by sinking a stone sutra, each with a different character, into the seabed instead of a human sacrifice. This stone was erected in 1184 (Juei 3) to commemorate his merits and as a memorial, and stands jutting out into the rapids of the strait.
