To Believe and Not to Believe: A Native Ethnography of Kanashibari in Japan
2015
Overview
This article discusses kanashibari, the Japanese version of an experiential phenomenon better known in North America as the \"Old Hag.\" A native of Japan, the author provides cultural background on kanashibari and investigates kanashibari personal experience narratives so as to demonstrate how Japanese individuals self-diagnose their experiences by referring to culturally prescribed explanations (both scientific and supernatural) for the phenomenon.
