My sweet baby♡

Nure-Onna is a yokai that appears as a woman holding a baby by the water.

Then she asks a passerby to hold the baby.

Relationship with the Iso-Onna

Because of their similarity in appearance and location of appearance to the Iso-Onna introduced in this blog, they are sometimes treated as the same thing.

The figure is a woman on the upper chest and a snake on the lower body, and the place of appearance is the sea of Shimane
Prefecture.

fellow mothers

Like Ubume, it is a yokai that appears with a child, and they have many things in common, such as telling people to carry their children and the child they carry turning to stone.

However, the character of the Ubume, who wishes for the resurrection of her children, and the Nure-Onna, who uses her children to attack people, are completely opposite.

Husband...

Nure‐Onna is said to be either the wife of Gyuki or a disguised form of the Gyuki.

Combination with Gyuki

Nune-Onna asks a passerby to hold her baby, and when that person holds the baby, the wet woman returns to the sea and the Gyuki attacks.

At that time, the baby becomes as heavy as a stone and sticks to the hand, so it cannot escape and is killed by Gyuki.

approach

To cope, wear gloves when carrying your baby.

Then, when Gyuki appears, throw down the baby, which is weighed down by the gloves, and run away.

If you don't have gloves...

Some people think they don't always have gloves.

However, it is okay if you can cover your hands without gloves.

In one case, instead of gloves, he took off his front droop to cover his hands, carried his baby in his arms, and threw the whole front droop down and got away with it.

At that time, Gyuki is said to have muttered in a Nure-Onna's voice, "It's too bad I missed it," and left.

summary

・Ask to hold the baby.

・If you hold her in your arms, Gyuki will attack you.

・Cover your hands with gloves or something else, throw the whole baby down, and run away to save your life.
