Japandemonium Illustrated:
The Yokai Encyclopedias of Toriyama Sekien
– November 16, 2016
by Toriyama Sekien (Author), Matt Alt (Editor, Translator), Hiroko Yoda (Editor, Translator)

Japanese folklore abounds with bizarre creatures collectively referred to as the yokai ― the ancestors of the monsters populating Japanese film, literature, manga, and anime. Artist Toriyama Sekien (1712–88) was the first to compile illustrated encyclopedias detailing the appearances and habits of these creepy-crawlies from myth and folklore. Ever since their debut over two centuries ago, the encyclopedias have inspired generations of Japanese artists. Japandemonium Illustrated represents the very first time they have ever been available in English.

This historically groundbreaking compilation includes complete translations of all four of Sekien's yokai masterworks: the 1776 Gazu Hyakki Yagyō (The Illustrated Demon Horde's Night Parade), the 1779 Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki (The Illustrated Demon Horde from Past and Present, Continued), the 1781 Konjaku Hyakki Shū (More of the Demon Horde from Past and Present), and the 1784 Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro (A Horde of Haunted Housewares).
The collection is complemented by a detailed introduction and helpful annotations for modern-day readers.

Hyakki Yagyō, Hyakki Yakō 百鬼夜行 "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"



- - - - - hyakki yagyoo emaki o yomu 百鬼夜行絵巻をよむ
田中貴子, 澁澤龍彦, 小松和彦, 花田清輝

- quote -
Hyakki Yagyō, variation: Hyakki Yakō, (百鬼夜行, "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons") is a concept in Japanese folklore. It is a parade which is composed of a hundred kinds of yōkai.
Legend has it
that "every year the yokai Nurarihyon, will lead all of the yōkai through the streets of Japan during summer nights." Anyone who comes across the procession would perish or be spirited away by the yōkai, unless protected by handwritten scrolls by anti-yokai onmyoji spellcasters. It is said that only an onmyoji clan head is strong enough to pass Nurarihyon's Hyakki Yagyo unharmed.
According to the account in the Shūgaishō (拾芥抄) Shugaisho,
a medieval Japanese encyclopedia, the only way to be kept safe from the night parade if it were to come by your house is to stay inside on the specific nights associated with the Chinese zodiac or to chant the magic spell:
"KA-TA-SHI-HA-YA, E-KA-SE-NI-KU-RI-NI, TA-ME-RU-SA-KE, TE-E-HI, A-SHI-E-HI, WA-RE-SHI-KO-NI-KE-RI"
(カタシハヤ, エカセニクリニ, タメルサケ, テエヒ, アシエヒ, ワレシコニケリ).
-- In literature
The hyakki yagyō has appeared in several tales collected by Japanese folklorists.
-- Uji shui Monogatari (宇治拾遺物語), in which a monk encounters a group of a hundred youkai which pass by the Ryūsenji temple.
-- Konjaku Monogatari Shuu (今昔物語集), which tells that during the Jougan Era (859–877), the eldest son of minister Fujiwara was on his way to his lover's place when he saw 100 demons walking from the direction of the University of Tokyo Miya main street. Since his attire had the sonjoushi written on it, the demons who noticed this ran away.
-- Ookagami (大鏡, Okagami) The Great Mirror
-- Goudanshou (江談抄) Godanshu
-- Kohonsetsuwashuu (古本説話集)
-- Houbutsushuu (宝物集) Hobutsushu
The night parade was a popular theme in Japanese visual art.
One of the oldest and most famous examples is the 16th-century handscroll Hyakki Yagyō Zu (百鬼夜行図), erroneously attributed to Tosa Mitsunobu, located in the Shinju-an of Daitoku-ji, Kyoto.
For other picture scrolls, the Hyakki Yagyō Emaki (百鬼夜行絵巻), contains the details of each member in the parade from the Muromachi period.
Other notable works in this motif include those by Toriyama Sekien (Gazu Hyakki Yagyō) and Utagawa Yoshiiku. However, Toriyama's work presents yokai in separate, encyclopedic entries rather than assembled in a parade, while Utagawa's Kokkei Wanisshi-ki ("Comical Record of Japanese History") employs the theme of 100 demons to comment on contemporary Japanese military actions in China.

【天狗　てんぐ】
想像上の妖怪。深山に住み、鼻が異様に高く、山伏姿をして空を自在に飛び、神秘的な力をもつと信じられている（集英社国語辞典より）。
天狗には様々な起源、意味があり、上記のように伝えられているのは比較的近世になってからの天狗像である。
特に、「鼻が高い」＝増上慢という言い換えは、江戸時代以降のもの。
もともとは山の神であり、それ以前は「天（あま）駆けるもの」＝流星という意味もあった。
日本書紀には、「舒明天皇9（637）年に、奈良の都の空を大彗星が大きな音をたてて東から西へ飛んでいった」という記述がある。当時、中国留学を終えて戻ってきたばかりの僧・旻（みん）が、「流星に非ずして、是れ天狗（アマツキツネ）なり。其の吠ゆる声、雷に似たるのみ」と天皇に奏上したという。
アマツキツネは、地上に災いをもたらす凶星か獣のこととされた。

天狗がしばしば山伏の姿に見立てられるのは、修験者の驚異的な能力を畏敬したことからくる。修験者のルーツとされる役小角（えんのおづぬ＝役行者・えんのぎょうじゃ）も、天狗に喩えられる。
（参考サイトこちら役行者ファン倶楽部）

鳥のようなくちばしを持つ烏天狗は、河童と同根、あるいは同一のものとする説もある。
いずれにせよ、天狗と山岳信仰は切っても切り離せない。
室町時代以降、全国の霊山や有力な山伏集団のいる山では、山に対する信仰心を強めるため、独自の天狗を誕生させる。日本百名山ならぬ「日本八天狗」というものもある。

愛宕山（あたごさん）太郎坊（京都）
比良山（ひらさん）次郎坊（滋賀）
飯縄山飯綱（いづなの）三郎（長野）
大峰前鬼（ぜんき）（奈良）
鞍馬山僧正（そうじょう）坊（京都）
白峰相模（さがみ）坊（香川）
相模大山伯耆（ほうき）坊（神奈川）
英彦（ひこ）山豊前（ぶぜん）坊（大分）

愛宕山太郎坊はこれら大天狗の総元締め的存在。その前身は聖徳太子の恩師・日羅だともされている。
比良山次郎坊は『今昔物語』（平安後期）にも登場。 飯綱三郎は、静岡県の秋葉（あきは）山、東京の高尾山、群馬県の迦葉（かしょう）山などの飯綱系天狗の総大将。 などなど、時代を経ると共に、仏教的な序列や意味づけなどもされていった。


【天狗経　てんぐきょう】
天狗は修験道と結びつき、密教的な要素を濃くしていく。
修験者たちが、日本全国の霊山から天狗たちを招聘するために唱えるという経文が天狗経。

「南無大天狗小天狗十二天狗有摩那（うまな）天狗数万騎天狗、先づ大天狗には、愛宕山太郎坊、妙義山日光坊、比良山次郎坊、常陸筑波法印、鞍馬山僧正坊、英彦山豊前坊、比叡山法性坊、大原住吉剣坊、横川覚海坊、越中立山縄乗坊、富士山陀羅尼坊、天岩船檀特坊、日光山東光坊、奈良大久杉坂坊、羽黒山金光坊、熊野大峰菊丈坊、吉野皆杉小桜坊、天満山三尺坊、那智滝本前鬼坊、厳島三鬼坊、高野山高林坊、白髪山高積坊、新田山佐徳坊、秋葉山三尺坊、鬼界ヶ島伽藍坊、高雄内供奉、板遠山頓鈍坊、飯綱三郎、宰府高桓高森坊、上野妙義坊、長門普明鬼宿坊、肥後阿闍梨、都度沖普賢坊、葛城高天坊、黒眷属金比羅坊、白峰相模坊、日向尾股新蔵坊、高良山筑後坊、医王島光徳坊、象頭山金剛坊、紫尾山利久坊、笠置山大僧正、伯耆大山清光坊、妙高山足立坊、石鎚山法起坊、御嶽山六石坊、如意ヶ岳薬師坊、浅間ヶ岳金平坊、総じて十二万五千五百、所々の天狗来臨影向、悪魔退散諸願成就、悉地円満随念擁護、怨敵降伏一切成就の加持、をんあろまや、てんぐすまんきそわか、をんひらひらけん、ひらけんのうそわか」
……この経文には、全部で48の天狗が登場する。
天狗経は室町後期にはすでに存在していたらしい。

Chōchin-obake (提灯お化け, "paper lantern ghost") is a type of Tsukumogami,
"[the] lantern-spook (chochinobake) ... a stock character in the pantheon of ghouls and earned mention in the definitive demonology of 1784." The Chōchin-obake also appears in the obake karuta card game, popular from the Edo period to the early 20th century (and still in use today).



The Chōchin-obake in particular was created from a chōchin lantern, composed of "bamboo and paper or silk."
They are portrayed with "one eye, and a long tongue protruding from an open mouth."

Yamanba, Yamauba 山姥 and 山姫 Yamahime
Yamanba, Yamamba is the "old hag from the mountain"
Yamahime is "princess of the mountain", a Yokai monster, also called
Yama onna 山女 "woman of the mountain".

- quote
山姫（やまひめ）または山女（やまおんな）は、日本に伝わる妖怪。その名の通り、山奥に住む女の姿をした妖怪である。




各伝承により性質に差異はあるものの、多くは長い髪を持つ色白の美女とされる。服装は半裸の腰に草の葉の蓑を纏っているともいうが、樹皮を編んだ服を着ている、十二単を着た姿との説もある.
The wikipedia features some legends about the Yamahime.
- source : wikipedia

.......................................................

- quote -
Yamauba (山姥 or 山うば), Yamamba or Yamanba are variations on the name of a yōkai found in Japanese folklore.
- - - Description
Depending on the text and translator, the Yamauba appears as a monstrous crone, “her unkempt hair long and golden white ... her kimono filthy and tattered,” with cannibalistic tendencies. In one tale a mother traveling to her village is forced to give birth in a mountain hut assisted by a seemingly kind old woman, only to discover, when it is too late, that the stranger is actually Yamauba, with plans to eat the helpless Kintarō. [5] In another story the yōkai raises the orphan hero Kintarō, who goes on to become the famous warrior Sakata no Kintoki.
Yamauba
is said to have a mouth at the top of her head, hidden under her hair. In one story it is related that her only weakness is a certain flower containing her soul.


Yamauba, Hair Undone, by Hokusai

- - - Noh Drama
In one Noh drama, translated as, Yama-uba, Dame of the Mountain, Komparu Zenchiku states the following:
Yamauba is the fairy of the mountains, which have been under her care since the world began. She decks them with snow in winter, with blossoms in spring ... She has grown very old. Wild white hair hangs down her shoulders; her face is very thin. There was a courtesan of the Capital who made a dance representing the wanderings of Yamauba. It had such success that people called this courtesan Yamauba though her real name was Hyakuma.
The play takes place one evening as Hyakuma is traveling to visit the Zenko Temple in Shinano, when she accepts the hospitality of a woman who turns out to be none other than the real Yamauba, herself.

Komochi Yamanba / Yaegiri Kuruwa Banashi
The puppet play "Komochi Yamanba" was premiered in the 7th lunar month of 1712 in Ôsaka at the Takemotoza. It was adapted for Kabuki more than 8 decades later, in the 3rd lunar month of 1795 in Ôsaka at the Kado no Shibai [more details]. It was staged for the first time in Edo in the 9th lunar month of 1810 at the Nakamuraza.
"Komochi Yamanba" was originally made up of 5 acts. The most famous act, the second one, is still part of the current Kabuki reportoire. It is commonly called "Yaegiri Kuruwa Banashi" or "Shaberi".

鹿児島県肝属郡牛根村（現・垂水市）では山奥に押し入ってきた男を襲い、生き血を啜るという[2]。信州（長野県）の九頭龍山の本性を確かめるために山中に入った男が、山姫に遭って毒気を浴びせられ、命を落としたという逸話もある。

屋久島では山姫をニイヨメジョとも呼び、伝承が数多く残る。十二単姿で緋の袴を穿いているとも、縦縞の着物を着ているとも、半裸でシダの葉で作った腰蓑を纏っているともいうが、いずれも踵に届くほど長い髪の若い女であることは共通している。山姫に笑いかけられ、思わず笑って返せば血を吸われて殺されるという。山姫をにらみつけるか、草鞋の鼻緒を切って唾を吐きかけたものを投げつけるか、サカキの枝を振れば難を逃れられる。しかし、山姫が笑う前に笑えば身を守れるとの伝承もある[6]。

かつて屋久島吉田集落の者が、山に麦の初穂を供えるため、旧暦8月のある日に18人で連れ立って御岳に登った。途中で日が暮れたため、山小屋に泊まった。翌朝の早朝、飯炊きが皆より早く起きて朝食の準備をしていたところ、妙な女が現れ、眠る一同の上にまたがって何かしている。結局、物陰に隠れていた飯炊き以外の全員が血を吸われて死んでいたという。

yukinba 雪婆 Yukinba, the Snow Hag
yukionna, yuki onna 雪女 (ゆきおんな) "snow woman"



- quote -
Yukinba is essentially a Yamanba variation on Yuki-onna from Ehime. Yukinba likes to come out on winter nights when snow is falling. Children are not allowed outside on such nights because Yukinba may abduct them (to eat is implied). She is presumably one-legged as she leaves a track of solo footprints.

According to the Edo era scroll Bakemono Emaki (Monster Scroll ばけもの絵巻), a man was walking in a wheat field during a snowstorm around the 2nd month (lunisolar calendar). He heard a woman’s voice calling his name. When he looked up, he saw a one-legged old woman with messy hair hurtling towards him through the snow. He hurriedly ran away and after running for some time, the snowstorm lifted and the old woman disappeared.

In Yamagata, they say that when the Shirotsuko insect flies in late autumn, it means Yukinba is in the nearby mountains.

- quote -
Yuki-onna (雪女, snow woman) is a spirit or yōkai in Japanese folklore. She is a popular figure in Japanese literature, manga, film , and animation.
She may also go by such names as yuki-musume "snow girl", yuki-onago "snow wench", yukijorō "snow harlot", yuki anesa "snow sis'", yuki-omba "snow granny or snow nanny", yukinba "snow hag" (Ehime), yukifuri-baba "snowfall hag"(Nagano).
