  • Summary

  • In this bite-sized episode, we look at the Dorotabō (泥田坊, "muddy rice field monk"), who is a type of yokai from Japanese folklore. It is believed to be the restless spirit of a farmer who, in life, worked tirelessly to cultivate and care for his rice fields. After his death, if the land is neglected or mismanaged by its new owners, the Dorotabō rises from the muddy fields to haunt them. Get ready to learn about another creepy but not-so-dangerous yokai!
