  1. Although oni are a common sight at Setsubun, Rozan-ji (廬山寺) has an origin story for its own 3 ogres.

    When the temple's founder, Ryōgen (良源 912-85), was in training he was bothered by 3 troublesome oni (or spirits, depending on what version of the tale you read).

  2. The 3 colours of the oni symbolize the 'sandoku' (三毒 the '3 kleshas'). In Buddhism kleshas are mental states that cloud the mind, poison the heart, and manifest in unwholesome actions.

    Our friends over at Itotatsu (いと達) sell some charming sweets for Setsubun: red oni (赤鬼), blue oni (青鬼), and oni pants (おにのパンツ).
    Named after a famous children's song, the wagashi depict oni and their tiger-pelt loincloths.

    Legend has it that Ryōgen cast out the irritating oni with the power of prayer and a waving of his 'sanko' (三鈷 'trident vajra').

  8. @arstechnica Fun article, but I'm curious what this is:

    "In Chinese folklore, another type of proto-vampire, called the k’uei, were reanimated corpses that rose from the grave and preyed on the living,"

    If it's Wade-Giles, the pinyin would be kui right? so maybe 夔? If it's just a weird spelling of gui, it's just a random 鬼?
