Japan
Description
A local spirit that met in the villages of Totsuka and Yoshino, in the Japanese prefecture of Nara.
Osiroi-baba appears in winter in the form of a hunched old woman with a torn hat on her head and a stick in her hands. A lot of white powder is sloppily applied to her face, which looks very scary.
