A lazy fisherman who decided to fish in the imperial koi ponds near the Heian-kyō palace.
Despite being warned by his wife about the pond being sacred and near a graveyard, the fisherman went anyway.
On his way to the pond, he is warned by another fisherman not to go there, but he again ignores the warning.
Once at the spot, he is met by a beautifull young woman (Noppera-bō ) who pleads with him not to fish in the pond. He ignores her and, to his horror, she wipes her face off.
Rushing home to hide, he is confronted by what seems to be his wife, who chastises him for his wickedness before wiping off her facial features as well...
Noppera-bō or faceless ghost, is a Japanese legendary creature.
Noppera-bo are apparently harmless. They do nothing more than scare the ever-loving crap out of unsuspecting people. As for why they do this, well, their motives are unclear.
They often appear initially in human form, often as someone who is familiar to their potential victim.
Once they’ve ingratiated themselves to the victim, or otherwise attracted their attention, they then go full horror act on the poor person..
