    the kera-kera onna (lit. "giggling woman") originates from a chinese legend. it reports that prince xiao tong (520 AD) was actually and literally stalked by a woman. her stalking and giggling was reportedly so annoying and creepy, that half of the city and the palace would complain about her. desperate, the prince had the lady executed. too bad that her ghost would soon return for even more stalking... funfact: the story is based on historical documents and real peoples.

    The kosode no te yokai sounds similar to Hmong superstitions about clothing that formerly belonged to someone who has passed away. If someone sells the clothing of someone that has died, the person who owns the clothing may be haunted by the spirit/ghost (because the spirit is still connected to its material belongings)

    The way you describe kejōrō somehow give me flashbacks of some descriptions of Nordic malevolent water spirit, ”Näkki/Näcken”. In some regions this creature is described as beautiful woman from behind as she is washing herself at shore of a lake or river. This appearence is a lure, since the face is described to be horrible. This creature then snatches her prey who has come close enough enchanted by the view and eaten in bottom of the lake/river.

      Well, only thing I really agree here is that they were often victims of violence and that clients should be even more ashamed. Certainly I won't agree with modern day glorification of becoming sex workers - and it had enough effects to make some women in my middle of nowhere country fly out to Dubai to do dubious deals, I can only imagine scale in more cosmopolitan society. It's just not that good way for society to function (unless we just make all relationships into transaction and figure out alternatives for children and non sexual intimacy, but I don't think it's quite natural for us)

    I know Japanese have legends of Yokai in brothers, but I always assumed those legends were normal Yokai like Amasogi who happened to be in those area. I didn't know there were Yokai specifically for these areas instead of just passing through or being there by coincidence.

    When you mentioned the Hair Yokai being completely covered in hair I did think about Cousin It from the Adams Family then two seconds later you show a picture of him.😂

    The Hair Yokai must have been what the girl was in Ringu. That is what made that movie so darn unsettling, A young girl walking towards me with hair covering her face, is for some reason far scarier than any slasher killer I have ever seen. Japanese sure knew what was scary.

      It has to do with the unique social structure of feudal Japan, while most other countries had an absolute monarch, Japan's emperor is a figurehead and the real power lies in the Shogun.
      Absolute monarchies like China and Korea nearby suppress folklore about Yokai and monsters as it promotes superstitions and undermines the power of the Imperial family. Japan doesn't have that and the Shogun like the power of the emperor being undermined (weak emperor = stronger Shogun) so they don't suppress folklore stories

    i like to think the kerakera yokai in their mind is like their second chance in life after how much suffering they went through in it's previous existence in the red light district. Now it can prank or cackle in glee at anyone who made the people lives a living hell.

    Fun fact: the term "Red Light District" actually originates from Oyster bars, the red light was originally their signal but there's a whole lot of history there and most of it is about racism and general hatred of the poor and or women.

    my laughter has been the cackling kind. and i was always conscious socially of laughing out loud. until one day i stopped caring.
    Isnt it sad when you see how women's body shaming extended has its roots in history.
    Eithway glad to be born in this era(considering Victorian and renaissance era also). Heck born in the earlier times would mean I wouldnt even be able to write this comment, as women we not allowed to the right of education until her husband orfather gave permission, and that too you'd have to be born with aristocratic blood line. or show the "purpose" of your education.
    why am I writing all this? I dont know. as a history/civilization enthusiast. it frustates me to see the injustice done on the "Weaker gender"(historical punn again)
    to the channels, thank you for the animated potrayal, and jokes you include. it makes history more fun. keep up the great work. best wishes to the team.
