Cow Tipping Legend
In the sea of the Ushimado lived a monster called Chin-ring-ki, which tried to capsize the king's ship as it passed by. After the king shot several arrows at it, the monster broke apart and turned its body into The Kijima Island for a neck, a The Mejima Iland for a body, and The Aoshima Island for a tail．
And afterwards, when the queen passed by, this time a bull demon appeared, disguised by the spirit of the The Chin-ring-ki, and the incarnation of the Sumiyoshimyojin threw it down. Because the bull ogre fell down, the place was called Ushikorobi, Ushimaro, or Ushimado.The body of this monster is said to have been turned into The Kuroshima Island and its guts into The Momohirosowae.
This is the origin of the name of the place, Ushimado.
