Tsurube-otoshi (釣瓶おとし) is a creature from Japanese folklore. It lurks in the tops of trees and drops down on unsuspecting humans, and has various descriptions - sometimes it is some sort of oni or tengu, sometimes it is a disembodied head, and sometimes it is a fireball. Its name is an expression for "falling quickly" which literally means "a well-bucket dropping", and sometimes the ''tsurube-otoshi'' instead drops a well-bucket to scoop up its prey. ==References== *http://www.sakaiminato.net/site2/page/guide/point/miru/mizuki/youkai/tsurube/ *http://mouryou.ifdef.jp/100wa-mi/tsurube-otoshi.htm *http://www.nichibun.ac.jp/YoukaiCard/1260122.shtml *http://www.nichibun.ac.jp/YoukaiCard/0540096.shtml *http://www.nichibun.ac.jp/YoukaiCard/2180761.shtml *http://www.nichibun.ac.jp/YoukaiCard/1570020.shtml 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tsurube-otoshi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
