Oiwa’s only hope for ending her marriage to the cruel and dishonorable samurai, Iemon, was her father. But after he tried to end the union, Iemon murdered him in cold blood. With plans to marry another, Iemon conspired to poison his wife and left her for dead. But unfortunately for Iemon, it wouldn’t be the last of Oiwa. Kit Brooks shares the chilling tale of Oiwa’s ghostly revenge.

It is said that Oiwa actually existed in real life, and her actual story was so dreadful, it's no wonder that people intend to apease her spirit with ritual ceremonies - a tradition that remains to this very day. No joke.

Japanese really got the most scariest ghosts and unnerving stories

So one thing not mentioned here is that some versions of the play depicted a small and tragic romance between Oiwa and Kohei (the servant) In these versions, Kohei was always trying to help Oiwa as much as possible, but as a servant, he had no power to go against Iemon. The only thing he could do was stay with Oiwa and try to comfort her. He was always by her side even when the poison disfigured her and he never flinched at her gruesome appearance. When she dies, the play usually has Kohei try to fight Iemon in order to take revenge for Oiwa rather than being silenced, and that's how he dies. Them being tied to both sides of the door, being seen side by side on the fishing line and exacting revenge in tandem also carried over as symbolism for how Kohei continued to follow after Oiwa and help her in the afterlife.

Oiwa's story is one of betrayal, murder, and vengeful spirits. Oiwa's enduring spirit seeks retribution for the injustice done to her and her father. This eerie narrative has captivated audiences for generations, making it a significant part of Japanese folklore and theater. Kit Brooks' retelling of Oiwa's ghostly revenge highlights the enduring power of this haunting story.👿👻

This was told very well and the animation: top-notch. Japanese ghost stories are really creepy and scary.

I find it weird that there could have been zero bloodshed and a happy ending since they both wanted divorce anyways, but he went on a rampage just to get what everyone else was agreeing with from the start

Japanese stories are like German ones. And then everyone dies. The End. Now go to sleep.

I feel really bad for the servant. He didn't deserve to get killed.

poor Oiwa, I'm feel so sorry for her, she seems very much like a "possible ancestor" of Sadako Yamamura, the famous ghost who comes out of television.

This version of the story was far more gruesome than the on told by SomethingScary. I never knew of it’s origins as a kabuki play; it seemed like many of these plays drew inspiration from real life events, such as the Tale of Yoarashi.

This actually gave me goosebumps. Other than the narration and the animation, kuddos to the music!

I will never forget Oiwa's story. Thank you Ted Ed for making my Halloween memorable. :) Everything from the Shylock quote to the reference to contemporary culture was perfect. :)

Even though it's just a normal cartoon drawing, it's enough to scare me !!

That is the most honorable scariest Japan horror movie. Give it a five stars and a nomination award of success.

Japan is really filled with amazing stories and story tellers.

This story could have been solved with the husband simply agreeing to leave his first wife 😂
