I just had to share this with you - just found it!

Shirime - A Japanese legend or ghost-story about a sighting a samurai had in Kyōto where he saw a man with an eye where the anus should have been.


A wonderful drawing by the poet and painter Yosa Buson

You can read a little bit more here on the Wikipedia-page

But I also found a wonderful array of other artistic interpretations:


From the Ghibli studio anime Pom Poko

Couldn't find the sources for these two but they still was too good not to include.

Sort:  

Thanks to the chronic hemorrhoids that samurai is the legend now

This is so interesting and bizarre! Japanese culture is very different!

Yes, they have a really relaxed humour with such things.

Wow, the japanese where years ahead with there x-rated images!

"I didn't see that coming."

... was not what he said ... ever.

ok, I see what you did here...

Wierd stuff!
