Hitobashira means "human pillars" in Portuguese and this legend arose in ancient Japan. People believed that it was necessary to make sacrifices to the gods so that their constructions would always be protected and become strong and stable.

How were these sacrifices made? They sealed people on the pillars of their buildings and, if the gods liked what was done, the buildings lasted for years and years. However, they would always be haunted by the people who were trapped on the walls.

If you are in Japan, be very careful walking down a street late at night. You can receive the visit of Kushisake Onna, whose name means "the woman with the mouth divided". And a suggestion: do not try to run away from it, because she may not like it very much and teleport in front of you. Anyway, it's not going to look really cool for you. She shows up wearing a surgical mask and a coat and then asks, "Am I pretty?" If you say no, she'll cut your head off with a large pair of scissors that she carries. If you say yes, then she takes off the mask, revealing her mouth cut from ear to ear.

And then comes the second part. She asks again, "What now?" If your answer changes and you say no, it will cut you in half. And if you answer yes, then you will be just like her, for Kushisake will also cut off your mouth. Source: planetyze.com
