In #JapaneseFolklore hyakki yagyo is the night parade of one hundred demons. On inauspicious nights, all the #yokai, ghosts and other supernatural creatures parade through the streets of #Japan, singing and dancing wildly. For anyone foolish enough to be outside, or even to peek out of their window, an encounter with the pandemonium of the dreaded night parade will result in death, or being spirited away by malevolent yokai.
