The name Nozuchi comes from the ancient Japanese word for "god of the fields." It is said to live deep in the mountains behind trees and in thickets. It has a large mouth at the end of its head, but no eyes or nose. It is not evil, but rather violent all the same. When it sees a human, it may try to harm or even eat them. | |||
