A Japanese legend ( Slit-Mouth Woman) about a woman who is mutilated by her jealous husband and she returns as a malicious spirit. The Kuchisake-Onna legend began during the Edo period, the woman cover her face with her Kimono. The modern legend is more different. Children walking at night will encounter a woman wearing a surgical mask (in Japan, people wear surgical mask to prevent sickness). The woman will ask the child "Am I beautiful?", If the child says no, he/she will be killed with a pair of scissors the woman always carried. If the child says yes, the woman will removed her mask, revealing her slit-mouth and ask "How about now?", If the child says no, he/she will be cut in half. If the child says yes, then she will slit his/her mouth like hers.
Ways to escape her
When Kuchisake-Onna asks you, you must answer that she is pretty to times in a row, She will become confused and her victim will run when she is lost in though. She will also get confused when she asks if she is beautiful and you answer "You are average" instead of yes of no. Unsure of what to do, she will give you enough time to escape. Another route of escape is to tell her you have a previous engagement, she will pardon her manners and leave. She can get distracted by throwing sweets at her, which she will pick up. Another way of escaping her is asking her " Am I pretty", confused she will leave.
