In this episode of The Strange History Podcast, we explore the real history behind the legend, including the dangers of Heian period Kyoto, belief in angry ghosts like Sugawara no Michizane, the rise of yōkai folklore, supernatural scroll art such as the Hyakki Yagyo Emaki, and the famous monster illustrations of Toriyama Sekien.
