| Summary | On a snow-dusted March evening, a select group gathers at the enigmatic Seiato (Frog Hall), drawn by an unusual invitation from the eccentric Seiato Master. This is no ordinary haiku meeting; tonight, amidst swirling spring snow, chilling tales of the supernatural will be shared. With an imposing three-legged frog deity as their silent audience, guests are compelled to unveil their most unsettling accounts. From ancient curses tied to mysterious artifacts to vengeful spirits, inexplicable transformations, and chilling karmic retribution, each narrative peels back the veneer of ordinary life. What begins as storytelling soon blurs the lines between fiction and unsettling reality. Are these mere legends, or do the shadows of these ghost tales linger, ready to ensnare their unsuspecting listeners? |
