Kuchisake-onna: The Slit-Mouthed Woman

Kuchisake-onna Origin Story A dark, cinematic Japanese horror scene.

Set in Japan during the Edo period, heavy fog drifts through a quiet village at night.

Lantern light flickers softly. A beautiful Japanese woman named AIKO sits before a mirror,

long black hair flowing, calm and graceful. Suddenly, the mood shifts.

A jealous samurai husband storms in, . In a moment of rage, he slashes Aiko’s

mouth from ear to ear. The scene cuts away before showing explicit violence,

focusing instead on her shocked eyes and falling blood droplets. . A ghostly woman

wearing a white mask walks alone under dim streetlights. Her kimono sways in the wind.
