The story that if Okiku counts the last nine plate, people will die of a curse Okiku's ghost was a beautiful woman. So every night a young man gathered to see her, and ran away before hearing “ 9th plate“. One day, a man was late to run away. Then, "10th plate,... 11th plate...". The man asked Okiku. "Why ? ".

@@diablo.the.cheater Originally, stories of death, ghosts, monsters, or strange phenomena abound in folk tale legends or myths Many ghost stories are also included in the classic literature of the late Heian period (around 1120), such as the "Konjaku Monogatari Shu (The Collection of Tales of Times Now Past)" ("reiki (devil of the dead)"), but among the works that remain in a cohesive form based on these themes, "Ugetsu Monogatari (Tales of Moonlight and Rain" (1776) is famous. It was also featured in kabuki subjects such as Yotsuya Kaidan (1727) and Banmachi sara yashiki (late 1700s), and constituted a genre. It became the subject of Kabuki. So it's almost nothing. It's a new genre.

his voice for the female characters reminds me of a tv show i used to watch where myths were told in the form of cartoons. not in this art style tho. i mainly remember the story about a family who thought they found a dog when it was actually a giant rat, the story about a man who tried to find a missing cat and kept failing to find the right 1 till he found a tiger or something and the story about a boy who if he wasnt sucking on a binky, he would suck his thumb and thats bad cause there was a maniac who cut off thumbs of kids who suck them and baked those thumbs into pies... oh, yeah, that might also be the show where i saw a story about a little girl who lived in a funeral home and when a blonde popular girl tried to pull a prank on her by tricking her into touching something gross in a blind fold guessing game, she actually figured out what exactly it was she was touching and the blonde girl stormed out of the room crying jealous that the funeral home girl had looks and brains and i dont entirely remember what happened next, but the blonde girl got attacked by something, im guessing zombies

I was born and adopted out at Osaka, Japan and when someone wants to learn the Japanese Culture. Its makes me very happy to know that someone wants to learn my culture, I do get a lot of weird looks of my biological family's teachings thou. My biological father side is a strong line of Samurai and Geshia, even thou they are a "Gang" which in Japan we say "Clans" not as a gang. It's mostly the wording that comes to Americans as "A Gang of multiple people in a group: A Gang Family...." which makes it difficult to say that they arent a Gang, just a Clan. Yea some dont want to listen or just roll their eyes, but I tell them "I'm happy you are trying to learn about my culture, but please just throw it to the side because of anime or manga. It's more understandable if you experience it yourself, because there is more then the pages of a manga or a clip of a anime that makes Japan unique and beautiful."

That story was the end of my first relationship in Japan. I took her to Himeiji Castle and she kept finding all this creepy stuff. There's a suicide courtyard, old coffins and statues repurposed into the stone walls, the well itself with the story on a plaque, and just the fact that it's mostly original so it has that creepy old castle atmosphere. Every other word out of her mouth was 'koai!' (scary). There was a pair of suits of armor on one of the floors inside the tower and I asked her if they checked inside them for a missing plate. She didn't think it was funny and ghosted me after an uncomfortable walk back to the station.
