Yokai : Karakasabozu

illustration of Futakuchi Onna translates, “2 mouthed Woman” Well, self explanatory. No that mouth is not for bitching, or gossiping, but for eating. A wife of a Miser who lives in small village in Fukushima, she is a hard worker who rarely eats. So rare, that a second mouth mysteriously appears on the back of the woman's head. The second mouth often mumbles spiteful and threatening things to the woman and demands food. If it is not fed, it can screech obscenely and cause the woman tremendous pain.
Next illustration of Hannya refers to demons or oni, particularly this one is a funny one. They were once human women who were consumed by jealousy and transformed into demonesses. Name originate from the Sanskrit term for wisdom—, the highest form of Buddhist wisdom which leads to enlightenment.
