		Centered around Enoshima, an island about 50 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, the Shonan region stretches from Oiso (大磯) in the west to Hayama (葉山) in the east, including Kamakura (鎌倉) and Hiratsuka (平塚).
		In Japan, the scenery of the Shonan area was thought to be similar to the scenery around the Xiao and Xiang rivers in Hunan, China; hence the term "Shonan" (Chinese: "xiang1 nan2," another name for the Hunan region) came to be applied to the area around Enoshima in Japan.
		In Japan, the corresponding flood-basin lake (which no longer exists but was mentioned in the Enoshima Engi) was probably located along the course of the Kashio River, which flows into Sagami Bay (via the Katase River) at Enoshima.

	Benzaiten (Benten) - Goddess of Music and Fine Arts, Japanese Buddhism & Shintoism
		Benzaiten then descended from the clouds, entered the cavern, married the dragon, and was thus able, through her good influence, to put an end to the slaughter of little children.
		With the coming of Benzaiten there arose from the sea the famous Island of Enoshima, which has remained to this day sacred to Benzaiten, the Goddess of the Sea.
		This origin helps to explain why many Japanese temples and shrines dedicated to Benzaiten (including those at Itsukushima 厳島, Enoshima 江ノ島, and Chikubushima 竹生島 are located near water.

		The Japanese version of the Enoshima Engi mentions the Puyang River in the passage 浦陽洞底の湄，馬頭龍目の阪，常山の路似たり。 ([Enoshima and its environs] "resembled the embankments/dikes of the Puyang River and Dongting Lake, the dams/dikes of Matou and Longmu, and the road to Changshan").(1, 1b)
		The flood waters coming down from the river would have rushed up against the incoming tide in the estuary.
		This is a situation that may have caused some of the frequent flooding and drownings mentioned in the Enoshima Engi.
