kodama nezumi コダマ鼠 / 小玉鼠 Kodama Nezumi Yokai monster - Little Ball Rat

source : twitter.com/meirojp/status

It is feared by the Matagi of Akita, especially in Ani. Some say it evolved from seven Matagi who died the same day during a hunting accident.
If the rat hears the sound of a gun, it will rush to the spot and interfere with the hunting. When it spots a human, it stops what it's doing, inflates like a balloon, explodes and splatters the hunter with its own blood and guts.
If the hunters become aware of one, the Matagi will retreat from the mountain as fast as they can.

- reference : kodama nezumi yokai -

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

Once upon a time in winter
a group of seven young Matagi went to the mountain forest. At night it begun to snow. On the second morning a young woman came to their hut and asked to be allowed to take shelter. On that night, the woman sucked the soul out of six of them and killed them. The last one woke up in time, took his hatched and chased the monster away.

北秋田郡阿仁町 Ani

Once their was a Matagi family wanting for food. Just then Kobo Daishi passed their hut and they wanted to take away his robes. He tried to understand their plight and told them, "Even if you now repent,
mata oni ni naru - you will become Oni again!
Hunting is your job, so go ahead and do it."
This is the origin of their name.

Yamagami no sakabu 山神のサカブ（叫び）は細く硬い声で、遠いところで響く鉦の音に似ている。女の声にも似ているが少し違う。明治３０何年かに、この声で７尺５寸もある大きな熊を発見して捕ったことがあったという。

ONI - tsuno horns

Why do Oni have horns ?

The explanation relates to the concept of
kimon 鬼門 Oni gate - Demon Gate

The zodiac animals associated with this 北東の方角 Northeastern region are
ushi-tora 丑寅 the bull and the tiger.
Oni are therefore usually depicted with bull horns and tiger fangs, wearing loincloths made of tiger skin.
(Tigers were not known in Japan.)

. Why are the Oni often wearing 虎柄のパンツ tiger pants? .

There are Oni with one or two horns, and some have none.

鬼　the Kanji character for ONI usually has a horn on the head.
The writing for Kishibojin is often seen without the horn on the Kanji, since she turned a protector deity.

栃木県 Tochigi 馬頭町 Batomachi

Once upon a time
at the night of Setsubun 14 Oni wanted to stay over night at a home but were refused. They had to retreat to the mountain forest and finally stayed at the home of a firewood cutter. The old couple entertained their visitors with great joy and respect. To show their gratitude one Oni gave them a very expensive loincloth as a present.
The old woman was very pleased and asked them to come back next year and stay at their home again.
But the Oni laughed loud and said:
"Since I have no loincloth any more, I can not come . . . hahahaha !"
In this village people tell this story every year to make the Oni laugh.

The villagers prayed that 1000 children would be born in the following year in their vllage. Each family made dumplings until they had 1000 and the whole village prayed for seven days and nights.

The 鬼子母神堂 Kishibojin Hall at the temple in Minobusan is located along the route to the Oku-no-In sanctuary at the Chigo-Ike 稚児池 pond.

At the 鬼子母神堂 Kishibojin Hall, there was an ema 絵馬 votive tablet of a horse, which comes out at night to devastate the fields. The horse had been painted by 狩野探幽 Kano Tanyu and for some reason, the priest found dirt on its hooves and in its mouth every morning.
So special rituals were held to keep it in place.

saruoni, saru-oni　猿鬼 at Iwaido Shrine
This is an old shrine dedicated to Ônamuchi-no-Mikoto (or Iwatsukuwake no mikoto, according to another theory) and Kukurihime-no-Kami.
It is not known when the shrine was founded, but it is known as a shrine related to the legend of Saru-oni, which has been passed down from generation to generation in Yanagida, Noto Town. The legend goes like this:
Once upon a time,
a monster or preternatural creature called Saru-oni that lived in a rock cave bit cows and horses to death and did evil to humans. Then Keta Myojin (a gracious deity) of the highest ranking shrine in Noto shot Saru-oni in the eye. His corpse was buried in the cave and a shrine was built.
Iwaido Shrine has its origins in the legend. Local people call it "Saru-oni-no-miya" or "the shrine of Saru-oni". There are places in the neighborhood that have names related to the legend.
The name "Tôme" (hit in the eye) comes from the legend according to which an arrow hit Saru-oni in the eye. The name "Kuro-kawa" (black river) is derived from a story according to which a river of Saru-oni's black blood was formed. In addition, Saru-oni, who had his eye shot with an arrow, cleansed his eyes with ôbako (a kind of herb), which gave the name Ôbako to a local area.
