Beware of the Oni: The Demons of Japanese Folklore & Mythology | Halloween Special

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Tonight, we dive into the chilling shadows of Japan to confront the Oni—the iconic, horned demons of Japanese folklore. Forget the trick-or-treating and join me for three terrifying tales that reveal the horrifying origins and insatiable hunger of these monsters. This Halloween night, find out as we explore: 👹 The Prototype of Japan's Demons: We begin with the primal myth from the Kojiki, exploring the horrific moment in the underworld where the rage of the goddess Izanami towards Izanagi births the first prototype of a demon. 🩸 A Dark Story from the Konjaku Monogatari: Next, we journey to the Konjaku Monogatari, a sometimes chilling medieval collection of stories. This dark tale features a mother's terrifying transformation into a bloodthirsty oni. 💀 The Corpse-Eater (Jikininki): Finally, we delve into the classic spooky tales of Kwaidan, collected by Lafcadio Hearn, for the gruesome story of the Jikininki, a specific type of cursed Oni forced to feed on the dead. A perfect ghost story for Halloween night! Sources: Japanese Demon Lore by Noriko T. Reider: https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/usupre... Jikininki from Kwaidan. Stories and Studies of Strange Things by Lafcadio Hearn: http://gaslight-lit.s3-website.ca-cen... How the Hunter's Mother Became an Oni and tried to devour her children from chapter 27 in Konjaku Monogatari Chapters 9 and 10 of the Kojiki Kobayashi Eitaku, Izanagi and Izanami, c. 1885.
