aobozu priest legends

- BACK to the Daruma Museum -
. Japanese legends and tales 伝説 民話 昔話 - Introduction .
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

ao-boozu, Aobōzu 青坊主と伝説 Legends about Aobozu, a "Blue Priest" Yokai
A wayfaring monk.

aonyuudoo 青入道 Ao-Nyudo, a blue Nyudo monster.

Toriyama Sekien

- quote -
Aobōzu (青坊主 Blue Priest)
are a type of Japanese yōkai (folk legend ghosts) that appear in 18th-century artist Toriyama Sekien's book Gazu Hyakki Yakō.
The aobōzu is depicted in the Gazu Hyakki Yakō as a one-eyed Buddhist priest standing next to a thatched hut, however as there is no explanation of the image, the aobōzu's specific characteristics remain unknown.
It is believed that the aobōzu is the direct inspiration for the one-eyed priest hitotsume-kozō that is present in many yōkai drawings, such as Sawaki Suushi's Hyakkai-Zukan published in 1737. There is also a theory that because the kanji ao (青) in its name also means inexperienced, it was depicted as a priest who has not studied enough.
- source : wikipedia -

.......................................................................

- quote -
Ao-bōzu
Unfortunately very little is known about this yokai. Toriyama Sekien’s illustration came with not a single word of description other than the name. From its name, we can glean a little bit of information; the word ao 青 means blue or green, and can denote immaturity and inexperience (just as green does in English). Another well-known yokai — ao-nyōbō — uses this color in a similar manner. In fact, as Toriyama’s original illustration was black-and-white, it may even be that he never intended this yokai to be colored blue or green, but rather just meant it as a mockery of what he saw as a corrupt and unskilled priesthood (bōzu = priest). Nonetheless, thanks to its name, it is usually depicted in a sickly shade of ao.
The fact that ao-bōzu has only one eye draws a strong parallel with another yokai, the hitotsume-kozō.
He also bears a strong resemblance to the one-eyed hitotsume-nyūdō.

- - - - - There are a few local legends from various regions about ao-bōzu:
The most well-known legend comes from Shizuoka.
It is said that ao-bōzu appear on spring evenings at sunset in the wheat and barley fields. The transition from night to day is a popular theme in the tradition of in’yō magic (known as ying yang in Chinese). Further, the still blue-green leaves of the young barley also have powerful connections to in’yō sorcery. Children who go running and playing through the fields in the evening might be snatched up and taken away by an ao-bōzu summoned by this bizarre magical energy. Thus, good children must go straight home after school and not go tramping through the fields!
Another famous description comes from Okayama.
There, ao-bōzu are said to be blue or green giant priests who take up residence in uninhabited homes. Sometimes this results in them moving into inhabited homes while their owners are away, resulting in a big surprise when the owners return! These ao-bōzu are generally depicted with two eyes instead of just one. This version of the ao-bōzu is popularized in yokai karuta cards.
In Yamaguchi and West Japan,
they are considered minor deities. They appear before humans on the road and challenge them to sumo matches. Because these ao-bōzu look only as big as children, many a person has foolishly accepted the challenge, only to find himself flung to the ground with god-like strength and potentially lethal speed. Because of the similarity of this story with the hitotsume-kozō of East Japan, there are theories suggesting a connection to the ancient ghost religions of old Japan. In these shamanistic proto-religions, one-eyed monsters were often fallen gods and bringers of evil, sent to do the bidding of larger deities. They could be kept at bay with woven baskets, or other objects with many holes, which the monsters viewed as hundreds of eyes and kept away out of fear or jealousy.
In Kagawa and Shikoku,
they appear late at night to young women and ask them, “Would you like to hang by your neck?” If the woman says no, the ao-bōzu disappears without a word. However, if she ignores him or says nothing, he attacks her with lightning speed and knocks her out. Then he hangs her by the neck!
Because there are so many different accounts,
and because there are so many different kinds of nasty priest yokai, it’s impossible to tell which, if any, are the real ao-bōzu, and which are variations of other kinds of yokai. Maybe they all are. Maybe an ao-bōzu is simply any unskilled priest who turns from the path of his teachings and falls into wickedness, transforming into a yokai. In any case, if you happen to see a one-eyed blue priest, you should probably stay away!

During the reign of 元正天皇 Empress Gensho Tenno
there were two brothers, 勘少 Kanjo and and 藤六 Fujiroku, who made fishing nets and went fishing for a living.
In the spring of 霊亀元年 the year 715, their boat was floating and Kanjo tried to pull the net in.
There were no fish in the net, but small stones.
They threw away the stone and tried at a different place. But again, for seven times, they only got stones.
The brothers decided to accept the stones as a fish and kept them in the boat.
Now one stone turned into a big fish.
Much surprized they went home and in that night, they saw a strange light coming from the boat.
All the small stones seemed to shimmer and sparkle.
Kanjo took the small stones back home an they turned into
Senju Kannon 千手観世音菩薩 a Kannon with 1000 arms.
Now the two decided to built a Hall to venerate the Kannon.
Kannon appeared to them and told them, her real body was 阿弥陀仏 Amida Nyorai.
Now they had a vision that they should contact 行基菩薩 Saint Gyoki Bosatsu.
When 行基 Saint Gyoki heard about this, he built a hall and placed the statues of
阿弥陀 Amida, 観音 Kannon and 勢至 Seishi Bosatsu in it.
The hall was called Susa no Koji 須佐の古寺 the Old Temple from Susa.
It is now called 極楽寺 Gokuraku-Ji.

umigame no tatari ウミガメの祟り curse of the Sea Turtle
Toward the end of the Meiji period, around 1912, some workers on a maschine boat on the Tonegawa caught a 海がめ sea turtle and ate it.
That day when they finished work and wanted to go back to the harbour, the sea suddenly turned wild and the boat capsized. Only one of the workers made it back to the shore alive.
Others found him mumbeling "this turtle, this huge sea turtle . . . " and then he breathed his last too.
The fishermen of Choshi say this was the curse of the sea turtle and have great respect for this animal.
