Series Synopsis
Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales recounts three stories of Japanese horror.
Yotsuya Kaidan
Iemon and Oiwa Temiya (voiced by Hiroaki Hirata and Mami Koyama) have fallen in love. That love drove Iemon to commit horrific acts to ensure it. Unfortunately, the burdens of poverty were overpowering.
To secure a better life for himself, Iemon marries a younger, wealthier woman. To cast off his old life, he plots the murder of Oiwa. In the process, Oiwa becomes scarred and dies with vengeance in her heart.
That vengeance transcended the grave. The spirit of his former wife haunts Iemon. As well as all those responsible for her demise.
Tenshu Monogatari
Shirasagi Castle is a place many dare not go. Those who do meet their end at the hands of beings known as the Forgotten Gods.
Near the castle, Zushonosuke Himekawa (voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa) meets a beautiful woman (voiced by Houko Kuwashima). Though her mannerisms are odd, Zushonosuke falls in love with her.
