NNM: Shikome

One of Ame Warashi servants - Shikome

From Wiki:
Shikome were, in Japanese mythology, eight (or myriad) hags sent by Izanami to chase Izanagi and bring him back to the underworld.

"Hags of Yomi," considered personifications of the pollution of death. Both Kojiki and Nihongi relate the same mythic elements: when Izanagi broke his promise to Izanami and fled from the underworld land of Yomi, Izanami sent the "eight hags of Yomi" (eight meaning "myriad") to chase after him. While being chased, Izanagi waved a sword behind him and threw down his headdress, which turned into grapes. Izanagi then escaped as the hags stopped to eat the grapes. The hags continued to pursue him, however, so Izanagi threw down his sacred comb, which turned into bamboo shoots. Once again the hags stopped to eat and Izanagi escaped as far as the Even Plain of Yomi.
