    Otake was a maidservant who worked for the Sakuma family (some accounts say the Magome family) in Odenma-cho. She was known for her profound compassion and deep sense of charity. One day, a passing ascetic monk told her that she was actually an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai (the Cosmic Buddha). As this story spread throughout the city, many people visited her to pay their respects and offer prayers. A stone monument now stands at the site of the well that Otake used to use in her daily life.
