Was the Emperor even mad about the missing plate?

[torbjornlekberg]

What strikes me is that the samurai are often scumbags in thiese tales, and justice seldom catch up to them.
A reflection of reality?

I thought this will be about the Okiku Doll, you know the doll who's hair keeps growing

[rosswebster]

One of the things I love about Japanese ghosts is despite being so terrifying, they’re ridiculously easy to get rid of. Ringu would’ve been a much shorter movie is all you had to do was finish counting for the girl.

[両角-kq]

Okiku's ghost counts plate in the well. When people hear you count the last nine pieces, you die of a curse. The story that if Okiku counts the last nine plate, people will die of a curse
Okiku's ghost was a beautiful woman. So every night a young man gathered to see her, and ran away before hearing “ 9th plate“.
One day, a man was late to run away. Then, "10th plate, ... 11th plate...". The man asked Okiku. "Why ? ".
"Because I caught a cold, I'll rest tomorrow, " okiku's ghost said

This story was sad that she was dead for her plate.

[Regina-wmeo]

Damn that's really sad. A interesting story. You should be a history teacher, I bet students would learn alot with you and actually retain the information! Love your style!

[MrSzybciutki]

Okiku: "One, two, three..."
Priest: "Twenty eight, seven, thirteen, two, nine..."
