HEIKE: Crab spirits.
Once upon a time in the Straits of Shimonoseki there was an epic battle between the Minomotas and the Tairas. The Taira tribe took a total pasting and were more or less wiped out or drowned in the inland sea.
The HEIKE crabs which abound in this area have shells with what look like scowling faces indented on their shells.
These are said to be the spirits of the departed Tairas as they have a lot to scowl about. They lost absolutely everything including the sacred imperial sword.
