Japan: The ghost of an old woman at a temple in Fukuoka. From the Kaikidan Ekotoba Monster Scroll, mid-19th century.

This illustration depicts a ghostly old woman known to appear late at night in a certain guest room at a temple in the Kaho area of Fukuoka prefecture. On many occasions terrified lodgers ended up fatally wounding themselves after trying to strike her with a sword. The Kaikidan Ekotoba is a mid-19th century handscroll that profiles 33 legendary monsters and human oddities, mostly from the Kyushu region of Japan, but with several from other countries, including China, Russia and Korea. The document, whose author is unknown, is in the possession of the Fukuoka City Museum.
