In this world there are many ghost legends,
the majority of the story of this astral being is related to a terrible tragedy.
Because it's a ghost figure in general
portrayed as a bloodthirsty horrible creature.
But this is a bit of nothing in Japan,
because in this country some ghost legend is quite unique.
The ghosts in Japan are not only spooky,
according to the story that there are some of them
enter in the strange and even nosy categories
The story of these unique ghosts that this time Omlamis will share his story
according to some online sources I managed to collect.
we see it straight away
Okaburo - Ghost Okama
Okaburo or another Okamuro name,
is a ghost legend of Okama (bencong) in Japan
who often roam in brothels.
This ghost according to the existing story has an appearance like "Kamuro Girl"
girls employed as servants in brothels.
Okaburo has a characteristic menor makeup
as well as using chrysanthemum leaf kimono.
The origin of this ghost itself is not clear,
but one of the most popular stories is
that the beginning of the emergence of ghost Okaburo
comes from one of the children in a homosexual brothel
which is usually offered on the man's nose.
These boys usually dress like kamuro girls,
while waiting for customers in front of the brothel.
But because homosexuality was a very taboo
they usually use a special code that is chrysanthemum flowers in their kimono.
In ancient times chrysanthemums often connoted as a homosexual symbol
because the shape of its petals are similar to the human anus.
Okaburo figure is believed to be a ghost spirit
from one of these children who died unnaturally and became a ghost.
Isogashi - Hyperactive Ghost
Isogashi is a blue-skinned monster with long ears,
big nose and big tongue sticking out of his mouth.
In Japanese mythology,
Isogashi entered the category "Tsukimono"
namely the type of yokai that can enter human.
This ghost itself is said to have properties that can not be silent aka hyperactive.
So if any human being is possessed by Isogashi
usually humans will become very agitated and can not stand still.
The person who was possessed by Isogashi would feel guilty
if you relax and do nothing.
The legend of Isogashi himself first appeared in the Muromachi period,
where his figure appears in an unnamed ancient painting.
In the painting there are 2 types of yokai (ghost) that is Tenjoname
and Isogashi who have almost the same physical characteristics
but it is a different kind of yokai.
Tenjoname - The Lover's Ghost
Described as a big tall figure
with a tongue protruding from his mouth,
Tenjoname is the first yokai legend that emerged in the 18th century.
The story of Tenjoname's emergence itself begins
the story of a samurai in Tatebayashi court
the ruins are now in Gunma prefecture
who claimed to have captured Tenjoname
and use this ghost to clean the palace ceiling.
Since then, the legend of Tenjoname has become widely known in Japan.
It is said that this ghost will usually appear in the old house
which is unkempt and has many stains.
Tenjoname is believed to like a dirty house like this
because it is very like to eat dust
and dirt stuck to the ceiling.
Signs of Tenjoname's own appearance can be seen with
the presence of black spots on the ceiling of the house.
Kowai - Ghost Hunger
Kowai in Japanese is actually a word that represents fear.
But this word also has another meaning that is
the name of the ghostly figure in the Japanese legend.
According to existing legend Kowai is said to be
the manifestation of the human soul that was very greedy lifetime
The man's obsession with food then stays with him until he dies
and eventually became a ghost that was quite creepy
Kowai's appearance is often depicted as having human form
it's just that it has eyes like a fox red blood,
sharp teeth and long tongue that always drips saliva.
Because of his obsession with food,
supposedly Kowai always starved and spent all the food he saw.
Because of this ghost figure is often wandering
near the food vendors and it is said that they often attack them
especially traders who sell until late at night
In some other stories
Kowai is said to also often eat carrion on the road or waste food scraps
Anyway, whatever the origin can be fed
then this greedy ghost will chase and eat it
Kanbari Nyuudou - The Haunted Ghost
New Year's Eve is usually a very lively day in Japan
But this special day can also be quite creepy
because New Year's Eve is also the day when "Kanbari Nyuundou" will appear
Kanbari Nyuundou himself according to his legend
is a ghostly ghost figure who likes to peek toilet
This ghost is described to have a similar appearance to a sinto pastor
with thick robes and bald heads
History of this ghost itself
is actually very minimal because the figure depicted only appear once a year
But one of the most famous stories about the origins of Kanbari Nyuundou
is that this ghost is actually from a toilet god in Chinese mythology that is "Kakuto."
The character of Kakuto's letter writing in Japan is similar to the word character of the Kukco bird
The sound of birds is said to be a sign of the arrival of Kanbari Nyundou in the toilet
In general this ghost is described as an unlucky carrier
which can make a person who peeped by him in the face of misfortune
Additionally Kanbari Nyundou is also often described as a perverted ghost
who often try to feel
or licking people who use the toilet at midnight
In Japan itself if we hear the sound of Kukco birds while in the toilet
then it is considered a harbinger of misfortune
And to counter it we have to bark like dogs
that's some unusual ghost story from Japan
what do you think is the most unique?
