Hone-onna
is a being from Japanese legends. In some versions, it is thought to be a female yōkai who kills men by extracting their lifeforce or by grabbing their hands and holding them until the victim becomes a skeleton himself.〔Michael Dylan Foster: ''Morphologies of Mystery: Yôkai and Discourses of the Supernatural in Japan, 1666–1999''. Stanford University, Stanford, 2003, S. 222.〕 In others, the ''hone onna'' manifests as a skeletal woman. ==Description== The ''hone-onna'' appears first time in a yōkai encyclopedia called ''Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki'', written in 1779 by Toriyama Sekien. The story in which the bone woman is mentioned is named ''Botan Dōrō'' (牡丹燈籠; "The Peony Lantern"). It tells about a beautiful, but very skinny lady carrying a red lantern in shape of a peony flower and visiting men in attempt to sleep with them. ''Botan Dōrō'' itself is derived from a Buddhist Chinese tale collection named ''Otogibōko'' (御伽ばうこ), written by Asai Ryōi in 1666. The collection was composed as some kind of moral-free version of the Chinese work ''Jiandeng Xinhua'' written in 1378 by Qu You.〔Murakami Kenji: 妖怪事典.
