Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Yostuya Kaidan (roughly translated as Ghost Story of Yostuya), originally titled Tōkaidō Yotsuya Kaidan (Ghost Story of Yotsuya in Tokaido) is a classic Kabuki play (specifically a hybrid of kizewemono and kaidanmono) and arguably the most famous ghost story in Japanese history. Originally written in 1825 by Tsuruya Nanoboku IV, it is the Ur-Example for Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl.The story concerns Tamiya Iemon, a ronin, and his wife Oiwa. When a jealous woman poisons Oiwa, leaving her horribly disfigured, Iemon enlists the local pimp, Takuetsu, to rape Oiwa so that Iemon will have an excuse to divorce her. Unable to go through with it, Takuetsu instead gives Oiwa a mirror, and when she sees her own face, Oiwa kills herself, but not before cursing Iemon's name. And thus begins a bloody tale of vengeance, as Oiwa becomes a vengeful ghost and torments Iemon and everyone around him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As Japan's most famous ghost story, it has been adapted into over 30 movies, and has inspired a number of similar stories. | |
