Шаблон:Lang from the One Hundred Ghost Stories by Katsushika Hokusai

An old Шаблон:Lang would split upwards and downwards, and the part that got split would become a mouth and stick out a long tongue, and the Шаблон:Lang is commonly considered not to have one eye in its upper half, but two. Sometimes, the Шаблон:Lang would also grow a face, hands, a torso, and wings.

In pictures from the Edo period, both bucket-shaped and cylindrical Шаблон:Lang were depicted. In the Шаблон:Lang by Sekien Toriyama, a lantern-shaped Шаблон:Lang under the name of Шаблон:Lang was depicted.

They are also known from Шаблон:Lang such as Katsushika Hokusai's Шаблон:Lang from the One Hundred Ghost Stories, and Utagawa Kuniyoshi's Шаблон:Lang from the Edo period and beyond. These were inspired by the Шаблон:Lang, the Шаблон:Lang (1825), in which the spirit of Oiwa, who was killed by Kamiya Iemon, was performed displaying itself from a Шаблон:Lang (which was called Шаблон:Lang), and as well as another performance in which a Шаблон:Lang had a human face, the Шаблон:Nihongo3 (in 1825, at the Шаблон:Lang among other places), so these were called Шаблон:Lang.

Among Шаблон:Lang that depict many Шаблон:Lang of tools, there is the Шаблон:Lang, but there have been no Шаблон:Lang found in older works before the Edo Period. Examples of works after the Edo Period include the Шаблон:Nihongo3 by Шаблон:Lang.

The Шаблон:Lang in particular was created from a Шаблон:Lang lanternШаблон:Citation needed composed of "bamboo and paper or silk". They are portrayed with "one eye, and a long tongue protruding from an open mouth".

Oral legends

Although they are famous Шаблон:Lang, it is said that there are almost no legends in any area that are about this, so in Шаблон:Lang-related literature they are classified as "Шаблон:Lang that exist only in pictures". It is also commonly believed that they were created as a story for entertaining children. The Шаблон:Lang comic artist Mizuki Shigeru published a story about how a Шаблон:Lang would surprise people and suck out their souls, but it did not cite any primary sources.

Also, Шаблон:Lang considered to be Шаблон:Lang in the legends are often described as atmospheric ghost lights like Шаблон:Lang rather than as the tool itself.

In an old story from the Yamagata Prefecture, at a shrine with an aged Шаблон:Lang, a Шаблон:Lang would appear and frighten humans. The Шаблон:Lang would no longer appear after the Шаблон:Lang was put away.
