Tosuke Ki was traveling to his estate in Mino province.
Konjaku Monogatari |
While crossing the Seta Bridge, he encountered a woman in a kimono, who asked him to deliver a small box to a lady who sat at the bridge in Kara-village. Tosuke agreed, and was warned not to open the box.
On his trip, Tosuke forgot about the box, and instead brought it home to Mino and placed it in his storeroom. His wife, jealous in nature, thought it was a gift from a lover, and opened the box secretly. The box was full of gouged-out eyes and penises. Tosuke, being alerted by his wife to the nature of the box, immediately went to Kara-village to deliver it. When he met the Lady on the bridge, she was outraged that the box had been looked into, and Tosuke died as soon as he got home.
A man had abandoned his wife of many years for no particular reason. Perhaps he had simply gotten bored of her. In any case, he left his house to go adventuring, leaving the poor woman to waste away and die in their former home.
In death, however, the stubborn woman refused to leave, and her bones stayed together, and her long black hair only grew longer. At night, strange lights and sounds would come from the house, prompting neighbors to summon a Master of Divination, to help them.
At nightfall, the body came to life, and tried to buck the man off, but he held on tightly and they flew out the window and roughshod over the entire countryside. A couple of new stories for everyone. The reason for that is I have my edited manuscript for my book Yurei: The Japanese Ghost back from my publisher, and I have been busy getting those edits made and doing final konjakh to the book.

Goes to show the sexism in many stories like these. I read them all quite faithfully for a while, but I slacked off after Hellboy died well, actually, before that. Zack Davisson Jan 24, A very old issue. Basically, one of them tells the story to Hellboy. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Twitter account.
