KUCHISAKE-ONNA
ES
Leyenda
La leyenda dice que hace mucho tiempo había una preciosa pero vanidosa mujer que se casó con un samurai. La bellísima mujer era pretendida por muchos hombres y acostumbraba a engañar a su marido. El samurai sabía de las infidelidades de su esposa por lo que un día en un ataque de celos y furia le cortó la boca de un lado a otro mientras gritaba:¿Piensas que eres hermosa?Aquí es cuando la leyenda toma su inicio. Se dice que hay una mujer con una mascarilla, -lo que no parecería extraño en Japón, ya que la mayoría de habitantes las usan para prevenir enfermedades- que camina por las noches, especialmente las noches oscuras y tenebrosas. Si se encuentra con algún joven, -normalmente estudiantes de secundaria o universitarios- le pregunta: "¿Soy hermosa?" ("Watashi kirei") ("わたし きれい). Si el joven le responde que sí, ella se quitará la máscara y le preguntará: "¿Y ahora?" ("¿Kore demodesu ka?") ("これ でもですか"). Lo más probable es que la víctima grite o diga que no. Entonces la mujer le cortará la boca de un lado a otro con unas tijeras. Sí la víctima responde de nuevo que sí, la mujer lo seguirá hasta la puerta de su casa y ahí mismo lo asesinará, ya que "kirei" (きれい) en japonés (hermosa o linda) es muy parecido a decir "kiru" (切る) (cortar).Hay otra versión en la que si dices que si a las dos preguntas te dará un valioso rubí con sangre y se marchará.
En otras versiones de la leyenda, los efectos de responder sí cambian, aunque la mayoría coincide en que es imposible escapar de ella tanto con esa respuesta como la anterior. La más común reza que si se le dice sí, la Kuchisake-onna se abalanzará sobre el aludido para cortarle la boca para que sienta lo mismo que ella. Kuchisake-Onna ha permanecido en el folklore japonés, en el 2000 hubo quienes dijeron haber visto de nuevo a la Kuchisake-Onna caminando por las calles en noches de neblina, también en el 2004 una historia similar se obtuvo de Corea del Sur en donde había encontrado varias mujeres con la boca mutilada con unas tijeras igual que lo hace la Kuchisake-Onna. Al igual que se encontraron dos jóvenes universitarios asesinados en sus respectivas casas,degollados.

The legend says that a long time ago there was a beautiful but conceited woman that married a samurai. The beautiful woman was sought by many men and she accustomed to deceive her husband. Did the samurai know about its wife's infidelities for that that one day in an attack of jealousies and did fury cut him the mouth of a side to other while shout:¿You think that you are beautiful?
Here it is when the legend takes its beginning. It is said that there is a woman with a mask, - what would not seem strange in Japan, since most of inhabitants use them to prevent illnesses - that walks at nights, especially the dark and dark nights. If he/she meets with some youth, - usually students of secondary or university students - he/she asks him: "Am I beautiful? " ("Watashi kirei") . If the youth responds him that yes, will she take off the mask and will she ask him: "And now? " ("Kore demodesu ka? ") . is The most probable thing that the victim screams or do say that nr. Then the woman will cut him the mouth from a side to another with some scissors. Yes the victim responds again that yes, will the woman follow it until the door of her house and there same she will murder it, since "kirei" (???) in Japanese (beautiful or pretty) is you/he/she very similar to say "kiru" (to cut). is there another version in the one that if you say that if at two o'clock you wonder a valuable ruby she will give with blood and will she leave.
In other versions of the legend, the effects of responding yes they change, although most coincides in that is impossible to escape from her so much with that answer as the previous one. The most common prays that if he/she is said yes, the Kuchisake-onna will rush on the one mentioned to cut him the mouth so that he/she sits down the same thing that her. Kuchisake-Onna has remained in the Japanese folklore, in the 2000 there was who said to have seen the Kuchisake-Onna again walking for the streets in nights of fog, also in the 2004 a similar history was obtained of Korea of the South where had found several women with the mouth mutilated with some scissors the same as he/she makes it the Kuchisake-Onna. The same as two university youths were murdered in their respective houses,degollados.
