I KNOW HER LEGEND. she was a very beautiful woman where she lived and would always ask people “am i pretty” and ofc they would say yes, however she had a samurai husband and when she got caught cheating….. well we can say he grabbed his sword and cut her mouth so NO ONE would think she was pretty again so she ask men and kids “am i pretty “.

Another solution I love to the Kuchisake-onna problem is simply answering "Sorry, I am in a hurry" and she'll let you go out of politeness, so to not inconvenience you. So many yokai are polite it's fascinating, like how you can incapacitate a kappa by bowing to it, the kappa will reciprocate thus spilling all the water from the bowl on their head and losing all their strength. Gotta love how such a still alive and modern folklore has a bizzarre recurring theme such as politeness and etiquette.

a solution I heard was giving a confusing answer when she asks "Am I still pretty?" which she does after asking "Am I pretty?" then while she is puzzling your answer out, run. But if you can't think of a confusing answer coins or hard candy will distract her. Whatever you do do not scream or answer no if she asks if she is pretty, she will kill you for being rude, but if you say that she is pretty each time she will cut your face so it looks like hers. Also, I don't know where the "targets children" came from I heard she just goes after guys and men never girls and women

The fact that you can tell her you're running late for a meeting and she'll let you go is pretty funny for something you're supposed to fear. "Sure I'll kill you if I want to, but I'm not monstrous enough to make you skip a meeting"

Being late to a meeting is serious business in Japan. And many Youkai are pretty polite. That includes the Kappa who are downright nasty but if you bow to them, they will bow in return and spill the water they keep in a bowl on their head and lose their monstrous strength.

Kuchisake-onna (口裂け女) litterally means woman with a tourn or cut-up mouth. There's many different variations. The escape method with the sweets isn't so much about them being sweets but that she has a compulsion to pick them up one for one. Others include not answering her questions directly or stating that you're in a hurry and have no time. Just running doesn't work though.

Also, I never read anything about children being targeted; it's usually just people she runs into. She asks, "Am I pretty?"; if you say yes, she takes off the mask and says, "HOW ABOUT NOW?" if you say no, well...she'll slice you no matter what.

The way I heard the story was Kuchisake-Onna was this beautiful woman who was married to a samurai and every faithful to him and one day he became enraged believing that she was cheating on him. She was also pregnant in the story and the samurai did not believe the child inside of her was his so he punished her by cutting her face and throwing her out of their home, and in her destitute she wandered the land until she gave birth but because of her poor health from being homeless her child did not survive. She is so heartbroken by her child having been stillborn she wept until it caused her to die of a broken heart, as a spirit she's jealous of other people's children and that is why she attacks them.

This urban legend actually reminds me of a concept that I really like. One of my favorites even. The concept is that the ghosts and monsters depicted in these urban legends are created by the collective thoughts of everyone who knows about them. This interestingly also means that any ideas that someone has and then becomes widely accepted also become part if the monster as if it were always true. One great anime that covers this is Mob Psycho 100, although it only really touches on it. Still an amazing anime though. Another one that's good is In/Spectre. It's a weird on to talk about. I like it, but it's hard to really say snything else about it without aluding to spoilers, which I generally hate doing.

Not to contradict, but technically the kuchisake onna isn't a youkai, it's an urban myth so it's considers a kaii, a super natural apparition. Youkai are more like the faye and elves in the sense that they're like a supernatural species, but youkai is a huge loosely connecting category. Some myths say the kuchisake onna is a youkai though so it's correct, it's just a much more modern tale than what are considered traditional youkai.

My favorite version of the workaround for the spilt faced woman is to be polite but say, "I'm sorry but I have somewhere in late to be." Japanese culture doesn't really have a polite way to bring a conversation back from that and she's all about punishing rude behaviors.

To be honest I would have said "Ms. No matter how many scars and past tramas you have your always pretty in your own way" and i would just repeat it when she showed her mouth I would repeat it, if she saw that as yes I wouldn't run away or even move I would just say "hurting others doesn't make you pretty, people who hurt others are uglier then those who are scard by them" I would just keep repeating that even if I ended up dead or with my mouth scard and cut. Seeing as most Yokai are polite I think this would be the most polite you can while being honest at the same time. In general even if this wasn't kuchisake-onna I would have answered the same way because in my opinion that's the truth and polite.

Oh man, I remember this. Isn't there also an aspect because of a pun in Japanese, where 'cut' and 'pretty' sound similar?

Another way to survive Kuchi Onna is to politely tell her that you have no time to answer her question because you are running late for an appointment. She will understand and let you go.

I remember hearing about this monster and i think 2 others from a youtube video like 10 years ago. I remembered it said like the only way you could survive an encounter with it was saying you had a girlfriend. I think the one of the other monsters mention was a ghost in the restroom that would ask for toliet paper and would kill you if you didnt give it some. I dont remember the last one, it mightve been something relating back before fridges were common or something like storing raw meat required pickling or salting. But thats not really important i just figured it was cool to point out how a simple story could make you remember something from a long time ago

What if you just start flirting? Like what if: Do you think I'm pretty? *Leans on nearby wall.* "Why? Do you think I am?" *Blows kiss* Would she be chill with that or would you still get killed or cut up?
