Betrayed, poisoned, and murdered, Oiwa returns as a vengeful onryō, haunting her husband and driving him into madness. Explore the dark origins of this Edo-period ghost story, the real-world curses surrounding its stage and film adaptations, and why Oiwa remains one of the most powerful and feared spirits in Japanese folklore. From classic kabuki to modern J-horror, discover how the Legend of Oiwa continues to shape Japan’s obsession with ghosts, revenge, and the supernatural.
