The story goes: in the first year of Kansei, in Echigo Province (now Fukui Prefecture), there was a house maidservant whose head rolled off the pillow while she was asleep, detached from the body.
Priča se događa: u prvoj godini Kanseija, u pokrajini Echigo (sada Fukui prefektura), bila je kućna sluškinja čija je glava otkotrljala jastuk dok je spavala, odvojena od tijela.
