Humans learned the art of bone-setting from these beings whose hyōsube relatives are known to steal eggplants and leave greasy hair in unsuspecting bathtubs. Kuzenbo rules these beings whose harvesting of (*) shirikodama is linked to a carpenter who threw straw dolls into a river while yelling “eat people’s anuses.” (10[1])A deep-bow incapacitates these beings whose honorable return of the gesture results in water spillage from their head “dish.” For 10 points, webbed feet and a turtlish body characterize what cucumber-loving yokai known for terrorizing swimmers? ■END■
