I hear her well is located in Himeji Castle. In one version there were caterpillars crawling out of the well called Okiku mushi. However, Okiku is definitely not the only apparition that haunts Himeji Castle. The other yōkai who happens to be one of my favorites is Osakabe-hime who lives in the top of the castle. The ghost story of Kasane from Ibaraki prefecture is pretty cruel too. I'm hoping to go visit Japan for my belated honeymoon next years if the borders reopen by then. And Himeji Castle is one of my destinstions
Thanks. Im doing a video for brazilian audiences about a scary videogame character called Youkai Kusaregedo, and im researching all japanese legends about curses and wells. Thank you very very much!
The version I heard was that a man tried to make advances on Okiku and when she rejected him, he hid the tenth plate and she was punished for losing it. Her spirit would count to 9 and scream.
I just found your channel and I absolutely love your content!! Japanese stories are so interesting!

Because it is a very famous story, there are many variations depending on the region and time. :-)
I'll never look at a broken plate the same
Haha, I understand that. ;-)
I heard a different version where the samurai wanted her as a spouse
Very much possible as there are many variation about Okiku.
If I heard her in the middle of the night, I would probably freze in fear.
Haha, I take it as compliment, thank you!
Is there stories about rage,jealousy, rebirth and control?
I would say : Hannya!
You could watch it here.
