Himeji Mugs

.

Himeji Castle, a majestic architectural masterpiece dating back to 1333, stands as a remarkable testament to Japanese castle design. Yet, beneath its grandeur lies an eerie legend, primarily centered around Okiku, a former servant within the palace's walls. Falsely accused of misplacing valuable dishes, Okiku met a tragic end as she was killed and cast into the castle's well. Today, her vengeful spirit haunts the castle during the night, perpetually counting dishes in a mournful tone. Her spectral count reaches nine before culminating in a chilling shriek, after which she returns to the depths of the well—a haunting tale that lingers within the castle's storied walls.
