NAME: Datsue-ba “Old woman who strips clothes”

DESCRIPTION

A Japanese Buddhist folklore of an old woman who sits at the edge of the Sanzu
River in the Buddhist underworld. At the river, she has two primary duties. When a
child dies she strips the children of their clothes and advise them to build a pile of
pebbles on which they can climb to reach paradise. But before the pile reaches any
significant height, the hag and underworld demons maliciously knock it down. The
Buddhist bodhisattva Jizo saves these souls from having to pile stones eternally on
the bank of the river by hiding them in his robe. When a soul is that of an adult,
Datsue-ba forces the sinners to take off their clothes, and the old-man Keneo hangs
these clothes on a riverside branch that bends to reflect the gravity of the sins. If the
sinner arrives with no clothes, Datsu-ba strips them of their skin. Various levels of
punishment are performed even at this early stage. For those who steal, for example, Points
Datsueba breaks their fingers, and together with her old-man consort, she ties the
head of the sinner to the sinner's feet. Ki Energy: 17
