English: The "kutabe", a yōkai apparition, considered a variant (corruption) of kudan. Supposedly encountered in Mount Tate (Tateyama), Etchū Province, by someone digging for medicinal plants, in the Year of the Boar, presumably 1827/Bunsei 10. It declared that an epidemic was coming in 4, 5 years, which could be avoided by viewing an image of itself.[1]
