The specifics of her appearance can vary, but she is often described as wearing a white kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, which is a common attire for yurei. Her long, dark hair frames her pale face, and her eyes are said to hold a profound sadness and anger. Some versions of the legend suggest that anyone who hears her voice or sees her apparition is cursed, facing misfortune or even death. | Category | Details | |----------|---------| | |
