Rokurokubi (ろくろ首) is a tale from Lafcadio Hearn’s ''Kwaidan''. It features a monster by the same name (actually a classification error took place; in reality it features a nukekubi, not a rokurokubi). It features a protagonist who exemplifies the values of the time and age. His name is Isogai Heidazaemon Taketsura and was a vassal in the service of the feudal lord Kikuji. When Isogai’s master was defeated, instead of finding another master to serve, he became an itinerant priest and assumed the name Kwairyō. ==Setting== It takes place, “nearly five hundred years ago”. Considering ''Kwaidan'' was first published in 1904, the story is most likely from the Muromachi Period in Japanese history (c.1336-1573). The protegonist is said in the tale to have served well in the Eikyō War, which took place in 1438, during the Muromachi period. At that time in Japan, regional warfare was rampant and feudal lords were constantly being uprooted, defeated, and having their houses thrown into disarray.
