The legend, which is based on a stone known as ‘Sessho-seki’ in Japanese mythology and more commonly known as the ‘stone of death’, came to the fore with a development that attracted the attention of the whole world the other day. Images showing the breaking of the stone, which is said to lead to bad omens if broken in mythology, were published on social media.
The stone, allegedly broken on March 5, 2022, contained the spirit of the ‘Nine-Tailed Fox’, who, according to legend, tried to kill the emperor. The Nine-Tailed Fox had been born in China thousands of years ago and came to Japan, transforming herself into a beautiful woman known as ‘Yapo-no-Mae’. It was said that when the stone was broken, this beast would be set free and would bind itself to the spirits of the emperors.
It was said that there would be massacres unprecedented in history:
Emperors whose souls were controlled by the Nine-Tailed Fox, according to legend, They would commit massacres of an unprecedented scale in history. There was also a statement from the Japanese authorities about this situation, which attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of people on social media. Officials stated that the reason for the stone breaking may be cold weather and rain, and this is natural.
On the other hand, according to other information shared about the legend, this stone was actually a piece of the original stone. So the stone was actually already broken. While other pieces of the stone are said to be scattered all over Japan, it is also stated that the stone has not harmed anyone since 1385 BC. Of course, this event helped us see some creative posts on social media:
