怪談レストラン
is a Japanese children's storybook series. The books take the form of horror anthologies, edited by Miyoko Matsutani and illustrated by Yoshikazu Takai and Kumiko Katō. As of 2007, there were 50 volumes published by Doshinsha. Over 8 million copies of the books have published so far. The books were adapted into a TV anime series by Toei Animation, which began airing in 2009. It derives its name from "kaidan", which loosely translates to "thriller" (from "kai", meaning strange, mysterious, rare or bewitching apparition, and "dan", meaning talk or recited narrative; a more direct translation would be a ghost or horror story). Rather than forming a linear plot, the anime follows the anthology format of the book and tells a collection of ghost stories similar to what would be traditionally told around a campfire. The anime was frequently among the 10 highest rated anime shows of the week in Japan. The series was adapted into a hybrid live-action and anime feature film in 2010 s ...

Kaidan Restaurant Logo
is a Japanese word consisting of two kanji: 怪 (''kai'') meaning "strange, mysterious, rare, or bewitching apparition" and 談 (''dan'') meaning "talk" or "recited narrative". Overall meaning and usage In its broadest sense, ''kaidan'' refers to any ghost story or horror story, but it has an old-fashioned ring to it that carries the connotation of Edo period Japanese folktales. The term is no longer as widely used in Japanese as it once was: Japanese horror books and films such as ''Ju-on'' and ''Ring'' would more likely be labeled by the ''katakana'' . ''Kaidan'' is only used if the author/director wishes to specifically bring an old-fashioned air into the story. Examples of ''kaidan'' *''Banchō Sarayashiki'' (''The Story of Okiku'') by Okamoto Kido *''Yotsuya Kaidan'' (''Ghost Story of Tōkaidō Yotsuya'') by Tsuruya Nanboku IV (1755–1829) *''Botan Dōrō'' (''The Peony Lantern'') by Asai Ryoi *'' Mimi-nashi Hōichi'' (''Hōichi the Earless'') ''Hyakumonogatari Kaidank ...

The simplest form involves participants sitting in a circle in a room where 100 Traditional lighting equipment of Japan#Andon, andon lamps or candles are lit. As participants take turns telling ghost stories and tales of the supernatural, a lantern is snuffed out after each story, causing the room to become darker and darker as the night and the game progress. A second variation integrates elements of a kimodameshi "test of courage" into the game. Rather than one room, three connected rooms are used. In one of the end rooms, 99 andon lamps or candles are lit, and a small mirror positioned on a table. Guests gather in the other end room, with the 100th lamp. The center room remains empty and unlit. Ideally, the rooms are arranged in an L-shape so guests can see the light from the lantern room, but have no direct line of ...

Kikimora
Kikimora is a legendary creature, a female house spirit in Slavic mythology. Her role in the house is usually juxtaposed with that of the domovoy. The kikimora can either be a "bad" or a "good" spirit, which will depend on the behavior of the homeowner. In more recent times, an image of kikimora as a female swamp spirit had developed. Etymology Most sources link the suffix -''mora'' with the Proto-Slavic *''morà'' ('nightly spirit, bad dream') and the Proto-Germanic *''marōn'' (''id.''), as in the modern English nightmare. In Polish folklore, mora are the souls of living people that leave the body during the night, and are seen as wisps of straw or hair or as moths. Accordingly, Polish ''mora'', Czech ''můra'' denote both a kind of elf or spirit as well as a " sphinx moth" or "night butterfly". Other Slavic languages with cognates that have the double meaning of moth are: Kashubian ''mòra'', and Slovak ''mora''. In Slovene, Croatian and Serbian, ''mora'' refers to a "n ...
