Love can be a very scary thing.
This is an old ghost story from japan about sweet revenge.
It was first told in the form of a kabuki play in 1825.
There once was a man named Ioman who was married to a loving a devoted wife name Oiwa.
He was a ronin, a samurai who no longer had a master because he had a murderous past, and now he was a poor umbrella maker.
Since they were no longer financially stable, he grew to resent his wife, then his neighbor lured him into an evil scheme.
My daughter Oume is in love with you.
If only you weren't already married, you could be with her and be wealthy beyond belief.
Ioman was a garbage human and so he liked the sound of that, and so he started plotting ways to kill his wife.
He didn't wanna be charged with a murder, so he had to figure out a way to make it look like natural causes.
He decided that he was gonna poison her.
So, the next night, they sat at the dinner table together, the he offered her a spoon.
It's medicine to help you get stronger, for you and our baby.
She was a little hesitant, but poor Oiwa was so trusting that she took the spoon and drank the poison.
At first, nothing happened, but then her hair began to fall out into clumps.
Her eyes drooped and began to fill with blood.
She fell into a coma, which really pissed Ioman off because he wanted her to die already.
Days later, she awoke.
She had almost forgotten what had happened, but then she wenuto the bathroom and saw what she had become.
She had lost her beauty and her baby.
Ioman still tried to keep up his concerned husband act.
" let's go on walk to your favorite place, " he said.
So, they walked to the edge of a cliff overlooking to the entire town.
It really was a beautiful view.
And while Oiwa was trying to take it all in with her blood-filled eyes, he pushed her over the edge.
Ioman arranged an elaborate funeral for Oiwa to throw everybody off his scent, but now that she was out of the picture, he began to plan his wedding with his new bride.
Now I'll be rich again and everything will be perfect!
He thought to himself.
Ioman thought he had seen the last of Oiwa.
He could not have been more wrong.
He began seeing Oiwa's distorted face everywhere.
She appeared on a lantern and so he shattered it.
She appeared in the a mirror and he shattered that, too.
But he wouldn't let Oiwa ruin his new life with Oume.
On the day of his wedding Oiwa had not appeared.
The ceremony went perfectly.
Ioman turned to his new wife, but it was not Oume who looked back at him, it was Oima.
He drew his sword and...
(Sword slices)
(Blood gushes)
Everyone stared in horror as the head of Oume rolled down the side.
Ioman couldn't believe what he had done.
He ran outside out to the edge of the cliff and cried.
The wedding attendants ran after him just in time to see a woman push him over the edge.
It's was Oiwa pushed her to the edge...
