Faceless Terror: Unmasking the Noppera-bō of Japanese Folklore

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Noppera-bō (by Asai Ryōi in his Otogi Boko, early Edo period)

Every culture has told creepy ghost stories, but Japanese folklore has some of the best. Take, for example, the Noppera-bō, also known as the faceless ghost. This haunting figure is known for its eerie appearance and unsettling behavior. Often said to be encountered at night or when its victim least expects it, this unnerving creature looks like an ordinary person until it reveals a smooth, featureless face, terrifying those who cross its path. Rooted in centuries-old legends, the Noppera-bō has been a staple of Japanese ghost stories, captivating and disturbing audiences with its mysterious nature for generations.

The Creature

The origins of the Noppera-bō in Japanese folklore remain elusive, with references to the creature cropping up all over Japan’s ancient folklore and mythology. The creature is often associated with the concept of Yokai, supernatural beings akin to demons that range from the mischievous to the truly evil.
