大笹生の黒鬼伝説 Black Oni legend from Ozaso
In the North-West of Fukushima city there is a mountain plateau called Ozaso.
Once upon a long long LONG time, there lived a black Oni.
He often came down from his mountain to eat villagers and travelers and cause a lot of trouble as 人食い鬼 a man-eating Oni.
Even the priest from a local temple was eventually eaten by the Oni.
Then one day a traveling monk came to stay in the village and heard the story. The villagers asked him to drive out the Oni, but first he refused, because he had no trust in his power to do so.
The villagers talked to him again and made him hold a memorial service for all the perished souls.
As things go, the monk stayed at the temple and became its priest after all.
One night as he slept, Dainichi Nyorai appeared at his pillow and taught him how to get rid of the man-eating Oni:
「修行者よ、黒鬼の心を静める方法を教えますからよく聞きなさい。
ここより西南、土湯の山奥、仁田沼のほとりに大きなトチの樹があります。
根元に落ちている実を広い、それで団子を三個作りなさい。

Naita Akaoni 泣いた赤鬼 The Red Oni who cried
浜田廣介 Hamada Hirosuke (1893 - 1973)
- quote -
The Red Ogre Who Cried
Once upon a time, there were two ogres. One was red, and the other was blue.
The red ogre wanted to become friends with children in a village nearby. So, the red ogre put up a sign in front of his house:
Home of a Gentle Ogre
All Are Welcome
Tea and Tasty Cakes Available
But no one showed up, and the red ogre grew puzzled, sad, and angry. "I'm such a kind ogre -- why would nobody visit me?" Despairing, the red ogre even tore down the sign: "This is useless."
Moved by his friend's feelings, the blue ogre said, "Look, I have a plan."
The blue ogre's plan was for him to pretend to terrorize children and then have the red ogre chase him off, "rescuing" them from him. The plan went without a hitch, and the red ogre became the most popular creature among the children, and all came to play with him.
After a happy day of enjoying the children's company,
the red ogre found a letter from the blue ogre.
The letter said, "My Dear Red Ogre, if people find out that you are a friend of the Bad Blue Ogre's, they will not let the children come to you any more. So, I'm leaving. Please live happily with the children. Goodbye. Blue Ogre."
The red ogre cried out,
"Blue Ogre is gone! A dear friend of mine! He is gone!" And he wept.
The red ogre and the blue ogre were never to see each other again.

大昔、青鬼と赤鬼がいた。1軒の家に娘さんが何人かいて1年に1人ずつやっていた。親たちは娘をやりたくないと思っていたが、鬼の住んでいるそばまで連れて行った。そこで親子3人、菖蒲や蓬が生えている中へ飛び込んで身を隠した。すると鬼がわからないでそこを通ってしまった。それで五月節句には菖蒲と蓬を軒先に挿してすごす。

Naita Akaoni 泣いた赤鬼 The Red Oni who cried
浜田廣介 Hamada Hirosuke (1893 - 1973)
- quote -
The Red Ogre Who Cried
Once upon a time, there were two ogres. One was red, and the other was blue.
The red ogre wanted to become friends with children in a village nearby. So, the red ogre put up a sign in front of his house:
Home of a Gentle Ogre
All Are Welcome
Tea and Tasty Cakes Available
But no one showed up, and the red ogre grew puzzled, sad, and angry. "I'm such a kind ogre -- why would nobody visit me?" Despairing, the red ogre even tore down the sign: "This is useless."
Moved by his friend's feelings, the blue ogre said, "Look, I have a plan."
The blue ogre's plan was for him to pretend to terrorize children and then have the red ogre chase him off, "rescuing" them from him. The plan went without a hitch, and the red ogre became the most popular creature among the children, and all came to play with him.
After a happy day of enjoying the children's company,
the red ogre found a letter from the blue ogre.
The letter said, "My Dear Red Ogre, if people find out that you are a friend of the Bad Blue Ogre's, they will not let the children come to you any more. So, I'm leaving. Please live happily with the children. Goodbye. Blue Ogre."
The red ogre cried out,
"Blue Ogre is gone! A dear friend of mine! He is gone!" And he wept.
The red ogre and the blue ogre were never to see each other again.

Ino Heitaro Mononoke Roku
- Yōkai 妖怪 Yokai monsters - - ABC-Index -
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ino Heitaro 稲生平太郎 and Gonpachi 権八(Gompachi)
The year is 1749. The place is 三好市 広島県 Miyoshi town in Hiroshima.
Heitaro was a samurai of the domain.
He and his friend Gonpachi tried a contest of courage, involving an encounter with various Yokai.
This was a popular summer game reminding people of the
. Hyakki Yagyō 百鬼夜行 "The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons" .
In May they went up to 比熊山 Higumayama and lit 100 candles. Now each one of them had to tell a Yokai ghost story and after each story, one candle was put out.
After the last story was told the last candle was blown out and the two waited in the darkness for any Yokai to make their appearance.
Anyway,
no Yokai appeared for some time that night, so they went back home. But come July, the monsters begun to appear to haunt them . . .
And this story is told in the famous
稲生物怪録 The Ghost Experience of Mr. Ino
- いのうもののけろく Ino Mononoke Roku
- いのうぶっかいろく Ino Bukkai Roku
CLICK for more spooky photos !
For one month, various Yokai appeared day and night, trying to frighten Heitaro, but he never lost his calm and slept well at night.
For example, a huge toad appeared in his cupboard in the evening, with a red rope around its body . . . so Heitaro grabbed the rope and slept . . .
The next morning, the toad showed its real appearance, just the usual big box for cloths in the cupboard.
Another evening, a woman with a long neck came out of the Tokonoma niche from his room
and tried to lick him all night.
But he just ignored her completely and slept well till morning.
Eventually the Yokai gave up, praised his fearlessness and - in a swoop - disappeared from his garden.
This story soon became a picture scroll for all to enjoy.

Spooky ‘yokai’ ghost museum to lure tourists to Hiroshima
An illustration from “Hyakki Yagyo Emaki,” a narrative scroll painting depicting a parade of yokai (Provided by the city government of Miyoshi, Hiroshima Prefecture)
MIYOSHI, Hiroshima Prefecture--
An enthusiast’s extensive collection of paraphernalia related to the "yokai" supernatural beings of Japanese folklore is to be housed in its own museum as part of efforts to attract more visitors here.
The city government decided to construct a purpose-built museum to showcase about 3,000 yokai items amassed by Koichi Yumoto forming the main attraction. The museum is scheduled to open in 2018.
“I want to hand down to posterity Japan’s original culture generated by Japanese people’s imagination,” Yumoto, 66, of Tokyo's Edogawa Ward, has said.
He started collecting yokai-related works of art about 30 years ago, and has spent more than 100 million yen ($882,450) on his hobby to date.
The collection includes precious items, such as “Hyakki Yagyo Emaki,” a narrative scroll painting depicting a parade of yokai, and the renowned ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai’s spooky tale-themed “nishiki-e” multicolored woodblock print “Hyaku Monogatari” (100 stories).
Miyoshi, located in a mountainous region, has been seeking ways to revitalize itself by taking advantage of the local “mononoke” evil spirits culture.
The area is famous as the setting for “Ino Mononoke Roku,” a story about a young man who battles with evil spirits from the Edo period (1603-1867).
Yumoto’s collection provided a perfect opportunity, and the city teamed up with the yokai enthusiast who had been looking for a facility to display and manage his collection.
Yumoto signed a deal with the city at the end of 2016 to hand over his collection for free on condition that the city would establish a museum specializing in yokai.
The total project cost is estimated at 1.2 billion yen.
“I think yokai are happy about finally having their own museum,” said Yumoto.
Miyoshi Mayor Kazutoshi Masuda expressed his gratitude, saying: “We greatly appreciate the donation of such precious materials. We would like to invigorate the city by utilizing the collection.”
