Bewitching ensued and ol’ Prince Banzoku started cutting off men’s heads. The fox-spirit then scooted on over to India where it again took the form of a courtesan - this time one named Lady Kayo - who just happened to be the special friend of Prince Banzoku. Her name was Daji and it’s said because of her enchantment of the King a reign of terror was caused and the Shang Dynasty ended for good. This fox-spirit first possessed a concubine to the King Zhou - the ruler of the Shang Dynasty - in China. China to India, Back to ChinaĪs always there are various versions of the myth, but a popular one from the Edo Era tells of a certain wicked, nine-tailed fox spirit who people hopped causing great calamity and violence as it did. But I read a little more about it being a fox spirit, so I’ll refer to our antagonist like that here. The other line of thought says it wasn’t a spirit but a real nine-tailed fox, golden furred and sexy, and she changed into these various women - I believe always some sort of courtesan - throughout history. One that there was a nine-tailed fox spirit who possessed various women and caused pandemonium, disease, and destruction, hopping from one body to another over hundreds of years. Reading about this myth, I find there are two main lines of thought. Thus, perhaps - I’m just what everyone on social media is saying - releasing that evil out onto the world again. So what is The Killing Stone? Short story is it was believed to encase the wicked spirit of a nine-tailed fox. The event seemed to have happened on March 5th, when a tourist Tweeted a photo of the catastrophe and said something like, “I feel like I’m witnessing something I shouldn’t be witnessing.” The holy rope that was draped around it had also fallen off. In Tochigi Prefecture, on March 7th an employee who worked with the Nasu Tourist Information Center visited the site of the Sessho Seki / 殺生石 / The Killing Stone and confirmed that the large rock was broken in half. To start, let me sum up the Japanese article in Yahoo News. I was able to follow along with the story, read up on the rock’s history, and dig into some Japanese sites with information that I don’t see being talked about in English. I want to thank everyone who reached out to tell me about the stone splitting news. Maybe? Maybe not? I’ll let you be the judge. #Ikanji cosplay crackedYes, on March 5th the infamous Japanese Killing Stone, the Sessho Seki cracked in half, releasing a powerful, chaos-causing, nine-tailed fox spirit. Well, in the “Couldn’t Have Predicted That New Hell!” category, we have this month’s news. Over and over we think to ourselves, it can’t get any worse and then, it gets worse. I think we can all agree that times are tough, more than tough, they’re hellish. I’m going to interrupt my regularly scheduled episode to bring you the breaking - literally breaking - news that perhaps some of you have heard already. He looked pissed.Hey hey, this is Thersa Matsuura and you’re listening to Uncanny Japan. *UPDATED – On a side note, this is our Kurapika sim in The Sims 4 during gameplay (basegame version). *UPDATED – I originally thought of just doing the main chains, but ended up modeling his Judgement chain (little finger) as well (adds a little nice detail to the whole set don’t you think □ )Īnyway, this set will be released soon to patrons when completed to Tier 3 – $5 (within this month). I will be adding his nen chain as a bonus accessory. Please do not miss the Phantom Troupe Arc, it’s highly recommended! If you read or watch Hunter X Hunter, he is a really interesting character. I’ve been asked about Kurapika quite a lot, perhaps it’s because the Gon set was out last month. Thanks to our patrons’ support, we are able to continue working on cosplay custom content inspired by anime / video game characters.
