URBAN LEGEND

KUCHISAKE ONNA
口裂け女

SLIT MOUTHED WOMAN

Kuchisake Onna in his ancient legend is a concubine of a samurai. More precisely according to Japanese mythology or legend, Kuchisake Onna is a stealth. But in the movie I had witnessed, the atmosphere felt more modern. Maybe around the 70s, in there were already vehicles as a means of transportation. In essence, we can go back to the story of Urban Legend. This can be a matter of trust and a different visual experience of mystery experienced by each individual.

Kuchisake Onna Modern Version with Slit Mouth and Raincoat Suit. While the older version may be Kuchisake Onna wearing a kimono.

Well! here will be explained why he can be as modern as that. Actually Kuchisake Onna or Slit Mouthed Woman has two stories. In the era of samurai Onna was a very beautiful concubine. But because of her extraordinary beauty, the Onna became arrogant. Onna often cheated secretly behind her husband. Maybe because he was on fire, the Onna was found by her husband. Because he felt jealous and betrayed. Finally the husband tore Onna's mouth from the ear to the other ear. Maybe from right to left or from left to right. Feeling satisfied and mocking the husband said "Now who will say you are beautiful?"

Because of a little information about her in the past. So I will briefly and clearly tell about Kuchisake Onna in modern times, that is in urban times. In modern legend Kuchisake Onna was a woman who had facial surgery failure. It is said that at the time of the operation Onna used a kind of prickly smelling hair oil. The doctor became disturbed and not calm. So that accidentally cut his mouth to tear. Onna it became hysterical and angry and then killed the doctor. (The certainty of this story is still confusin, I only writes through the most reasonable information).

Kuchisake Onna still looks beautiful when using a mask.

Kuchisake Onna then covered her mouth with a mask and began to roam at night. If he meets someone, especially a man, he will ask: "Am I Beautiful?" If you answer yes, then he will open the mask and ask again: "Even If I Like This?" If you answer no. Then he will kill you with a big pair of scissors. But if you answer yes then he will be happy and free you. (Maybe this is what the name is lying for good.)

Kuchisake Onna and Target

Big Scissors, Main Weapon Kuchisake Onna

Am I beautiful?

In the legend it is also said that the victim will be safe if he says "Ordinary". Saying such an answer was not without reason, that answer would make Kuchisake Onna confused and thinking. That's when the victim can leave immediately or run away. Another version also says, try asking back to Kuchisake Onna "Am I Beautiful?" The point is before he asks, we first ask the question. This will make him confused and then leave. (This method is quite absurd besides needing great courage, this can only be done by women).
