During a summer stay at Omuro Goshō (御室御所), what is now Ninna-ji, Emperor Uda impulsively thought it would be cooling to see the nearby mountain covered in snow.
He had men unravel white bolts of silk on the slopes to create the wintry effect!
The mountain was soon christened Mt. Kinukake (絹笠山 the 'Silk-draped Mountain').
