Japanese Folklore Feat. Reina Scully

Welcome to Episode 89! For our third episode of Spooky Szn 2021, we decided to have on our good friend Reina Scully to school us in the spookiest of Japanese Folklore! This week, we discuss "Kokkuri San", "Hitobashira", "Teke Teke", "Tomino's Hell", and "Kuchisake Onna" in a very special episode of Japanese-themed hauntings.

Kokkuri: Kokkuri, or Kokkuri-san, refers to a paranormal game of divination, similar to the American Ouija Board. The word kokkuri refers to the game, the actual physical apparatus, and kokkuri-san refers to the being that is summoned that is considered by the Japanese to be some sort of animal spirit that is a mix between a fox, dog, and raccoon. The game is played by writing characters on a piece of paper (much like a Ouija Board) and moving a coin around the board instead of a planchette.

Hitobashira: Hitobashira refers to a cultural practice of human sacrifice used formerly in Japan, in addition to many other eastern and southeastern countries found in Asia, wherein humans were buried alive near large-scale construction projects (such as castles, bridges, and dams) as an offering to the gods to keep the structure safe from harm.

Teke Teke: Teke Teke is a Japanese urban legend about the ghost of a schoolgirl whose body was cut in half when she was run over by a train in a mysterious accident. Due to the unfortunate circumstances of her demise, her ghost is doomed to roam urban areas using only her hands and elbows since her lower half no longer exists. The dragging of her torso across the ground makes a “teke teke” noise similar to a skittering or scratching noise. She carries around a large scythe that she uses to chop unsuspecting passers-by in half.

Tomino’s Hell: Written by Japanese poet Saijo Yaso at the end of WWI, “Tomino's Hell” is a dark and unsettling poem believed to curse, or even kill, anyone who reads it out loud.

Kuchisake Onna: Kuchisake-onna, meaning “Slit-Mouthed Woman”, is a popular urban legend about a malicious spirit who wears a mask to cover her mouth. She stops strangers in the night and asks “Do you think I’m beautiful?” Regardless of the answer (except in rare circumstances), she will tear off her mask, revealing her mutilated mouth, before killing the stranger.

Ayakashi Hyakki Yagyo (あやかし百鬼夜行) Mobile Game Characters Part 3

[Character introduction] Greengrocer Oshichi (野寺八百屋おしち)

The daughter of a slightly radical greengrocer who started an arson incident and was executed at the stake because she wanted to meet the man she fell in love with again after the Great Tenwa Fire. It is said that she actually existed in the early Edo Period.In the Yokai World, she is an old staff member of the ghost snack ``Meido.'' She has a love temperament that is easy to get excited and easily flare up.

[Character introduction] Enenra (煙々羅)

A smoked-filled yokai. The manager of the ghost snack "Meido". If you go there before they open, they will make you something like yakisoba even though you complain.

[Character Introduction] Kokuri-san (狐狗狸さん)

It is a type of spell that is performed using 50 syllabary hiragana, a picture of a torii gate, and a piece of paper with yes and no written on it. If you call him "Kokuri-san, Kokuri-san," he will tell you what you want to know. However, information fees are not cheap. A cunning opponent who cannot be eaten.

[Character introduction] Toshiro Kitsune (藤四郎狐)

A young and talented fox boss from Okayama Prefecture. He had a confrontation with Sabonkitsune, lost in a monster competition, and was cut down by a human. In the yokai world, he belongs to the Sanbongumi, a chivalrous organization led by Sanbonkitsune, perhaps because of past connections. He is good at change and loves deep-fried tofu.

[Character introduction] [Sanbongumi leader (三本組組頭)] Sanbonkitsune (三本狐)

A fox boss handed down in Okayama Prefecture. He is an old fox who rules the eastern region, and he used his cunning to win in a competition with Toshiro Fox. and without getting his own hands dirty, he inflicted serious damage on Toshiro. In Ayakashi, he is the leader of the chivalrous organization ``Sanbongumi''. He has regained his lost power to transform and reappears!

Note that this is Sabonkitsune’s human form as his initial appearance is this on the left.

[Character introduction] Daito no Danna (大東の旦那)

A large monster fish that has been passed down in Taitosaki, Chiba Prefecture. His true identity is said to be a giant man-eating shark. In the yokai world, he forms the ``Daito Suigun'' with sea monsters and protects order and peace at sea. He is also popular among girls as an old man.

[Character introduction] Isonade (磯撫) is a mysterious fish that has been passed down in the waters around western Japan. He approached the ship as if caressing the sea surface and attacked it with its needle-filled tail. There is also a theory that it is actually a killer whale. In the demon world, he belongs to the Daito Suigun and serves as Daito's husband's right-hand man.

I tried to redesign Mister Kokkuri from Death Mark 2 because I felt that his design wasn’t great (especially the mask off version). I wanted to put more emphasis on the fox laccata in my redesign, as those are the most important mushrooms in the chapter and are heavily linked to his human self’s death.

If you guys want me to do a version of this in full colour then let me know, but I like this version as it makes the mushrooms stand out more.

[electricea]

also it seems like japan does have something sort of similar to ouija boards - a game called kokkuri which also involves communicating with a spirit. i still just don't see ryuji as the sort to be interested in supernatural or paranormal stuff, even if other kids are, so i feel like his knowledge about ouija boards/games similar to it would be limited as best, so he wouldn't be as wary or scared about it as others might be.
