OIWA
Lore
According to surviving documents kept at Myogyo-ji Temple in Tokyo’s Nishi-Sugamo district, a woman named Oiwa died of a lingering illness made worse by the strained relationship with her husband, a samurai of the Tamiya clan. The records mention no signs of violence, poisoning, or physical injury, yet after her death the family suffered a string of misfortunes, giving rise to a local legend about a curse cast by a wronged soul. But was it really that simple?
