Haradashi

(Haradashi)

腹出し

A harmless Yōkai with a friendly nature. Haradashi can appear in a number of ways; a kindly old nun, a female monster, or a headless body. With all forms Haradashi takes, she has a large, funny looking face on her torso that she uses to make people laugh. She comes to those that are sadly drinking alone, and if they offer her sake, she will show them her belly and dance to cheer them up.
Haradashi will sometimes take up residence inside an old temple. If a person is lost or seeking refuge from a storm, she will invite them in to stay the night. This isn't where this Yōkai's hospitality ends. Haradashi will provide a comfortable room and warm meal to her guest, complete with belly dancing as entertainment.
