About
In Japanese mythology, Yomotsu-Shikome literally means "the ugly lady of Yomi". After the god of creation Izanagi saw the true face of his now dead wife Izanami in Yomi, the Japanese underworld, he fled in horror. Izanami, in anger and fear of being left alone, called for the foul woman, Yomotsu-Shikome. Shikome tried to prevent Izanagi from escaping through the Yomotsu Hirasaka (the entrance of Yomi) by summoning her army of Yomotsu-Ikusa. Despite the full force of her army, Izanagi was able to escape back to the land of the living. She is depicted as a hideous and wild demoness with a fierce temperament.
