The Folklore of Kappa-dera Temple
According to a legend,
at the beginning of the 19th century there lived in the vicinity a raincoat maker named Kappa Kawataro合羽川太郎（合羽屋喜八 Kappaya Kihachi）. In Japanese the word for"raincoat"is also "kappa". This region was once a basin with poor drainage, therefore rain would often bring floods causing undue trouble for the residents. Because of this, Kawataro began the construction of a series of drainage ditches with his own finances.The project was said to have been completed only with the assistance of the kappa living in the Sumida River whom had been helped by Kawataro in the past.
It is said that those who actually witnessed the river kappa thrived in business.

This legend is the origin of the name "Kappa-dera".
Furthermore,the name of "Kappabashi" (a bridge that once stood at the Kappabashi intersection) is also said to come from this legend.
At the temple they celebrate the Kappa Daimyojin河童大明神 and there is a stone monument that is said to be Kappa Kawataro's grave.
