In the Bunka period, a kaidan story became popular, where there was a prostitute whose neck would smoothly stretch and would lick the oil of paper lanterns when she slept with guests, showing how rokurokubi were spoken of as things that women would transform into or an illness that they would be afflicted with.
U razdoblju Bunka postala je popularna priča kaidan, gdje se nalazila prostitutka čiji se vrat glatko proteže i lizati uljem papirnatih svjetiljki dok je spavala s gostima, pokazujući kako se rokurokubima govori o stvarima koje bi se žene pretvorile u Bolest s kojom bi imali poteškoća.
