==Hachi Katsugi in folklore was a young Japanese orphan whose father placed a bowl on her head before he died and told her it would be her treasure and bring her 'True Love', the most important thing in life. She couldn't remove the bowl and was teased, hated, and pitied by the villagers. She felt her father hated her and that she must be SO UGLY because he had cursed her with a bowl to cover her head and face. One day, as a young woman, she decided life was too hard, so she went to the river and began putting rocks in the sleeves of her kimono to drown herself. A handsome prince was out riding that day,  heard her softly singing a beautiful good-bye song and he went to see who it was. He asked her what she was doing, and begged her not to harm herself, but to come with him and she could live in the palace as a maid, where no one would tease her. Over time, the prince grew to love her sweet hearted kindness and one day, the Prince decided he would ask her to marry him. When he approached her and asked, she felt terrible that she was not worthy of his offer and tried to leave. As she turned away, he reached out to her, accidently knocking the bowl off. As it fell to the floor, so also did hundreds of GOLD COINS with it! Thinking she was too ugly to be seen, she ran; but the prince caught her and showed her a mirror. The image was a beautiful girl looking back at her! Hachi Katsugi realized her father had NOT cursed her, but LOVED her by helping her learn the deeper things of life early on, and then finding only TRUE LOVE would unlock the greatest treasures in her life.==
