the name of the vampire is "Kyuketsu-ki," which means blood-sucking Oni. in the late 18th century, the ukiyo-e artist Sekien Toriyama drew a picture in which the Oni is eating an animal with a skull lying at the feet in a cave. The text describes the Oni's relationship to a tiger and cow, a fang and a horn.

This Oni became famous at the same time that vampires began to appear in Europe. the name "Kyuketsu-ki" was introduced in the 19th century, in the Meiji era, a time in which Japanese and Western culture rapidly mixed. The monster image is not only an enemy of Japanese people, but also, a subjectivized character
(Kagawa, M. 2005. Edo no Youkai Kaumei
(The revolution of Japanese ghosts in the Edo period).

kosode no te 小袖の手 Hands of a Kosode

鳥山石燕の妖怪画集

- quote -
kosode no te 小袖の手
TRANSLATION: kosode (a short sleeved kimono) hands
APPEARANCE:
Kosode no te is a phenomenon appearing in short-sleeved kimonos formerly owned by prostitutes. It is characterized by a pair of ghostly hands emerging from the sleeves and assaulting nearby people.
ORIGIN:
Kosode no te can occur for a number of reasons. One common origin is when a prostitute dies in vain, after working for many years to save up the money to buy her freedom from her owner. Upon death, such women usually had their clothes donated to a temple for prayers to be said over them. However, if the woman was still owed money by her clients when she died, her spirit often reanimated her old clothing, and they leave the temple to find her customers and beg them for the owed money.
Another common origin is
when, instead of being donated to a temple, a dead person's kimono is sold to someone else. If the deceased was unable to properly pass on to nirvana upon death, that person's spirit occasionally comes back and haunts the kimono.

Yurei Attack!: The Japanese Ghost Survival Guide
Matt Alt

- quote
Yokai Attack! is a nightmare-inducing one-stop guide to Japan's traditional ghosts and spirits.

Surviving encounters with angry ghosts and sexy spectres. Haunted places. Dangerous games and how to play them. And more importantly, a guided tour of what awaits in the world of the dead.

Yurei is the Japanese word for "ghost." It's as simple as that. They are the souls of dead people, unable—or unwilling—to shuffle off this mortal coil. Yurei are many things, but "friendly" isn't the first word that comes to mind. Not every yurei is dangerous, but they are all driven by emotions so uncontrollably powerful that they have taken on a life of their own: rage, sadness, devotion, a desire for revenge, or even the firm belief that they are still alive.

This book, the third in the authors' bestselling Attack! series, after Yokai Attack! and Ninja Attack! gives detailed information on 39 of the creepiest yurei stalking Japan, along with detailed histories and defensive tactics should you have the misfortune to encounter one.

- Japanese ghosts include:
Oiwa, The Horror of Yotsuya (O-Iwa)
Otsuyu, The Tale of the Peony Lantern (O-Tsuyu)
The Lady Rokujo, The Tale of Genji
Isora, Tales of Moonlight and Rain
Orui, The Depths of Kasane (O-Rui)
