Mitsutsu
[CV: Ayako Kawasumi]
Texts: (Nara) Taian Manro "Ancient Chronicles", (Nara) Prince Sheren "Nihon Shoki"
Odazu Is the main shrine of the Fushimi Inari> Taisha shrine < a famous punch-in attraction in Kyoto, and is recorded in the earliest Japanese historical books< the > of Ancient Chronicles, and the < Nihon Shoki >.
Here is the first explanation of the name of the god, and to correct an official error, the < of the god of the god of the <> of the god of the < represents the mysterious and sacred >, < > means < food >, and the kana of the < > <> is < structural auxiliary in the ancient Japanese language> that is, the > of the < in Chinese.
The Japanese word for < の>, and later when Kanji was introduced to Japan, it was written as < capital > or < Tsu >. Therefore, it is not grammatically correct to use < Mitsu > as a name, which is equivalent to using the > of < Mifu as a name, which is very awkward.
The name of the god of the imperial soul in the < Japanese shoki > < Uga no Mitsu >, < the ancient chronicle of the > name < Cangdao Soul Fate >, the pronunciation is the same, the Kanji is written differently, the meaning is < the meaning of the > of the gods staying in the grain. Mitsutsu is another name.
Its gender is not explicitly recorded in the two books, but it has been believed to be a goddess < from ancient times to the present> to sacrifice. In the < Japanese Shoki > she was one of the gods born to < Izanozun > and < Izanzun > (i.e., the < Izanagi > and < Izanami > in the > of the < Chronicles).
The < records in the > of the Ancient Chronicles are different, she is the son of the male > of < Susanoo and his wife < Ōichi> Hibiki. Since ancient times, it has been worshipped as the god of < inari >, but there is little mention of its deeds.
In addition, because the pronunciation of < bunzu > < けつ> is the same as the pronunciation of fox in ancient Japanese, the fox has always been considered her messenger in Japanese culture.
Yama cold
mountain wind
[CV: Toshiki Masuda]
Out of the code: (Edo) Toriyama Ishitsugu "Hundred Instruments in Vain Bag"
The prototype should be the Edo period painter < Toriyama Ishiwa >'s work in the work of the monster < Yamagata (pronounced gua) >, probably considering that the < 颪> this word is too strange in Chinese, so it is written as mountain wind.
According to the description of < Toriyama Ishitsu >, this is a humanoid monster with a head full of porcupine-like spines, because it has many bumps, much like a prop for rubbing things (such as a peeler for cucumber potatoes), called < おろし> in Japanese (this prop in ancient times is somewhat similar to a small washboard). Then the porcupine was called < Mountain >.
So this yokai was named < Mountain おろし>, and then written into Chinese characters is < Shan Qiao >. So the wind has nothing to do with the wind, it should be Chinese< blowing >, but the mountain scraping is too ugly (laughs). In addition, some scholars believe that this may be the god of mourning in the legend of the < おろし instrument >.
Kyuke Tsuhime
Vampire Hime
[CV: By Kanai]
Canon: (Modern) John Polidally, Vampire, (Modern) Bram Stoker, Dracula
The prototype of Vampire Ji is undoubtedly a vampire from one of the most famous pop culture figures in modern times.
In ancient times, although many countries had legends about vampire monsters, they were far from the image of vampires known to modern times. The < word > is derived from the Serbian word <вампир > to describe a local vampire monster.
The image of the vampire as we know it today first came from< the book < Vampire > by John Polidolis > in 1819, in which the vampire count was personable and popular at the time.
However, the most famous of the vampire novels is the book > < Dracula written by < > in 1897, which became popular around the world as soon as it was published, and a large number of classic settings for vampires today are roughly derived from this book, such as fear of silverware and garlic, incarnation of bats, and so on.
Incidentally, there are many stereotypes of vampires in China that basically come from domestic games in the 1990s, such as the setting that the first vampire was Cain, the son of Adam, and so on, and there is no such setting abroad.
Ao An-don
Green row lights
[CV: Minamiki Nana]
Out of the canon: (Edo) Toriyama Ishitsuguchi "Drawings of the Present and Past Continues to Be a Hundred Ghosts"
Before talking about the blue lantern, let's explain the > of the < Hundred Things, the so-called < Hundred Things > is a traditional japanese multiplayer game.
The more mainstream way of doing it is that 100 people hold 100 candles, each person tells a strange story in turn, and blows out his own candle after saying it, and it is said that when 100 candles are blown out, there will be monsters appearing (there are also said to appear when 99 strange stories are told).
< the origin of the Hundred Monogatari > is no longer known, but it was already popular in the early Edo period at the latest, according to scholars, according to the early < Hundred Monogatari> or the game set up by the lord to test the courage of the warrior. In the 18th century, there were many collections of strange stories that were also titled after < Hundred Stories >, such as < Miga Hundred Stories> and other books.
The origin of the Aoyuki Lantern is the late Edo < Toriyama Ishitsu >'s work, which depicts the yokai that appeared after the completion of the < Hundred Stories > as a ghost girl with long black hair, long horns on her head, teeth painted black, and wearing a white kimono, and named it Aoyuki Lantern.
Some scholars also believe that qingxing lantern does not refer to a single youkai, but < a general term for all the supernatural phenomena at the end of the > of the Hundred Tales.
Hiyoribo
Rihefang
[CV: Suzuko Mimori]
Japan and China have long had a similar custom of hanging muppets that pray for the sun on the eaves.
Chinese Muppets are known as < sweeping Qingniang >, while Japanese ones are known as < Teru Terreseuri >, and unlike Chinese dolls made of pruning, Japan mainly wraps cotton balls in square handkerchiefs and paints facial features. There is no direct evidence that the custom was introduced to Japan from China and should only be similar.
In the painting of < Toriyama Ishitsu >, a youkai named Hiwa-fang, presumably a bald-headed monk dressed in white, haunted in the mountains near Tokirik-kun (present-day Ibaraki Prefecture), and this yokai only appears on sunny days, so it is considered to be a yokai on a sunny day.
According to the narrative of < Toriyama Shiyan >, people hang sunny dolls to pray for rain, in fact, they are sacrificing the soul of the dead Niwafang and praying for their blessing.
KaguyaHime
Hui Ye Ji
[CV: Takeda Sena]
Out of the Book: (Heian) "Taketori Monogatari"
The image of Yukihime is not uncommon in major modern game anime, some only under the pretense of the name (such as Naruto), and some roughly according to the original setting (such as the Oriental project), which shows the popularity of this image.
Her prototype is from the Japanese Heian period novel< Taketori Monogatari >, is the first Monogatari novel in Japanese history, and its writing structure and satire are particularly exquisite, and have a profound significance in the history of world literature.
The story is mainly about a < bamboo man> found a baby girl in the bamboo, and after raising her, she became a beautiful woman who fell into the country, that is, Hui Ye,
She faced five vulgar aristocratic suitors, Hui Ye proposed five kinds of treasures, who first obtained their respective treasures before agreeing to marry him, and then with the wit to resolve the fraud of these people one by one, and finally let these 5 people die, crazy madness, social death,
Then in the end, the emperor also wanted to marry Hui Ye hime, but she refused in various ways, and finally had no choice but to reveal the identity of the princess of the moon, although she did not give up her adoptive parents, but still ascended to heaven and returned to the moon.
By the way, the five treasures in it are the five illusion cards that correspond to Hui Ye Ji.
