The Yoga of Cholera
The Yokai known as Amabiye was spotted off the coast of southwestern Japan in 1846. For several nights in a row, villagers could see a mysterious light radiating off the coast towards the sea. One night, an officer was sent to investigate the source until he was greeted by a strange looking creature who appeared out of the sea. He had the beak of a bird, long locks of human-like hair, a body covered in scales, and three legs with web feet,. And it declared that its name was Amabiye. It said that there would be an abundant harvest.
