Tohoku

关于此地区

Tohoku is a region of deep snow and rugged mountains, fostering legends of spirits that dwell within the home. The iconic Zashiki-warashi is a child spirit believed to bring prosperity to a household; if it leaves, the family's luck fades. The long, isolated winters in rural villages led to a unique folklore focused on protecting the family unit. These tales often have a warm yet melancholic tone, reflecting the resilient spirit of people living in close harmony with the silent, snowy landscape.
