Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai

Musubime-sama

This is the story of a young man and woman who recently started dating...

I appreciate you always giving me a lift.

When are you going to get your license, Toma?

It's on the agenda.

Oh, I heard something from my senpai at work today.

You ever hear of Musubime-sama, the Sewn Eye Woman?

Sure have. Yukari said she tried it before.

Seriously?

If I remember right...

you're supposed to go to a big shrine in the mountains alone

on the night of a new moon.

As the time passes, eventually...

Musubime-sama will appear.

The ritual with her needs to be carried out with utmost respect.

You give her a polite introduction,

and then the process begins with a specific order.

Musubime-sama's hair is really kinked and tends to get caught on her comb.

If you're not careful about how hard you go, you can end up pulling her hair out.

If that happens, you need to beg for forgiveness.

You cannot upset Musubime-sama, no matter what.

If you do, your wish won't come true.

And after she forgives you, you resume the ritual.

Once the combing is done, you put her hair up.

After that, you give your regards one more time,
