The Myth
Kuneyusuri is a supernatural creature from Nakagawa Village, formerly in Kakunodate Town, Senboku District, Akita Prefecture, Japan. Its name refers to a hedge, and the creature is known for violently shaking hedges, making the vegetation move as though an unseen force were disturbing it.
Little else is recorded about Kuneyusuri in the available account. Its appearance, motives, and whether it causes harm are not described, leaving it known primarily for its unsettling habit of violently shaking hedges.
