slit mouth woman?????
?
Yeah, slit mouth woman. Japanese urban legend. She was a beautiful woman. Her jealous husband slit her mouth open from ear to ear and she returns as a ghost with her mouth covered and asks you if she is beautiful. If she doesn’t like your answer, well… bad things happen.
Wait…he was jealous of HER being beautiful? Somebody needs counseling.
I think it was more the other meaning of “jealous,” as in, “guarding her jealousy.” Didn’t want other guys looking at her.
Ah yes, that makes more sense…but why cut her up? Why not just do what all other chauvinist overprotective fairytale men do and lock her in a tower or something?
Please look up the difference between “jealous” and “envious.” Bryonia is using “jealous” in the correct sense of the word.
4. inclined to or troubled by suspicions or fears of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or aims: a jealous husband.
5. solicitous or vigilant in maintaining or guarding something: The American people are jealous of their freedom.
Why so serious?
how could the woman give him Bj’s if she had a slit mouth?? …he was REALLY stupid. i dont say that she should do that but i say it to show how a man would think… lol. but every man these days would say that.
Ah, Kuchisake-onna. I’ve always had a soft spot for her in my heart. Why? Because she’s one of my favorite Japanese ghost stories. <3
well that explains the first, but who is the second?
From The Nightmare Before Christmas, one of Oogie Boogie’s minions.
Who is the second? Blasphemy thoust says. Have you never heard of the magnificent story of Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas? By the way, if it’s a folklore story, shouldn’t it be the other way around?
omg Kuchisake-onna is the scarriest thing of all time. Did anyone see the movie Carved? is it scary? i need to know if i should watch it to cure my irrational fear.
i saw that movie! i watch a lot of horror, so it wasn’t that scary to me. but it was still pretty good! i love it!
After seeing this, I started reading up on this ghost. Pretty scary.
You’re not a real turtle, your only a mach turtle.
you’re, not your.
This one is actually pretty cool.
Barrel looks more like Abominable Snow Man.
You know what’s weird? I saw that ghost lady statue thingy a couple days ago on Listverse and put in a comment just last night that it looked like Barrel!! Freaky…
Oooh, Kuchisake-onna.
My favorite Japanese ghost story.
All the pictures I see of her though are when she is bandaged up, have never seen a good picture of her actual slit-mouth.
According to the legend, Kuchisake-onna will ask people, “Watashi kirei*?” (Am I beautiful?) and if you say yes, she will pull back her bandage and reveal her ripped mouth and ask, “Even now?”. If you say no, she’ll kill you on the spot. If you say yes, she’ll follow you home and kill you. You can answer ambiguously, like “You’re ok,” and she’ll leave/give you time to GTFO lol, or you can throw candy (or give her fruit, versions vary) which distracts her.
*The question is a play on words. ‘Kirei’ (beautiful) sounds like ‘kire’ (the imperative form of “kiru”, the verb “to cut”).
Kuchisake-onna is a pretty scary legend (and one of my favorites). The one my boyfriend’s mother told me is that she’ll come up to these windows that the Japanese have near the floor in their bathrooms (o_O) and she’ll yell curses and swears at you, and try to break in.
do you mean jealous as in posessive?
Good story, i suggest (whoever hasn’t heard it) to read up on it.
it’s marrow not barrel….
no….it is barrel
as in lock shock and barrel, oogie boogies minions ¬_¬
inb4 barrel roll
I live in Japan (I also had been to Singapore) (I am writing this in English in hopes that you all will understand), so I know about Kuchisake-Onna. And other urban legends in my country like Teke-Teke, Hanako-San, Kappa, Aka Manto, Yuki Onna, and many more. Here is my story about Kuchisake-Onna.
Kuchisake-Onna is a vengeful spirit of a lady. She walks the streets of Japan, wearing a surgical mask to hide her disfigured mouth. Her weapon is mainly a scissors, but some versions say she is carrying a giant scythe. When she sees you (mainly primary and college students) she will stop you, and ask:
“Am I beautiful?” ‘Watashi wa kirei?’
She is beautiful at first sight, so many people say ‘Hai’ as ‘Yes’ in Japanese. But when you say yes, she will tear off her mask and ask ‘Kore demo?’ (Sorry, I did not know the English for Kore Demo.’) This is when it gets tricky.
If you say ‘No’ she will kill you, by chopping you up. If you say ‘Yes’ she will slice your mouth from ear-to-ear, making you look just like her, due to the fact that ‘kirei’ is a near homophone of ‘kire’, meaning ‘to cut’. If you try to run away, she will track you down and kill you, by chopping you into two.
The only way to escape from Kuchisake is to give a non-commital answer. My mum told me that if you run into Kuchisake Onna, you should say ‘Ma-Ma’ meaning ‘So-so’. Or you can spray her back with pomade, throw fruits or candy at her, go out together, write the hiragana for ‘inu’, that means ‘dog’, or say garlic three times.
There are many rumours of how Kuchisake got her horribly disfigured mouth. Some say she went for oral plastic surgery and it went horribly wrong, or she was gang raped by a gang of thugs, went insane and slit her mouth, or the gang slit her mouth. Others say that she was an escaped mental patient who became so demented she cut her own mouth apart.
According to a legend, there was a samurai with a pretty wife who was extremely vain and self-absorbed, and probably was cheating on him. In a fit of rage, he took out his sword, slit her mouth and said,” Who will think you’re pretty now?!” She became a vengeful spirit, hunting down and killing anyone who gave her the wrong answers to her question.
nice story. not the usual as any other japanese / thai / indonesian even american horror flick.
