Jusenkyo the training ground of Cursed Springs, is from the manga/anime series (Ranma ½). Located in China, near an Amazon village, the Cursed Springs are just that-- cursed. If a living thing falls into one of the springs, they take the shape of the thing that drowned there. The curses can be reversed temporarily, however- slashed with hot water and the original shape will be resumed, slashed with cold and the curse is activated.
