Tale of Owia

There once was a man named Ioman, who was married to a loving and devoted wife named Oiwa. It was not a happy marriage, for Iemon was a wasteful man and a thief.
He was a ronin, a samurai who no longer had a master because he had a murderous past, and now he was a poor umbrella maker.
Times were hard. They had little money. Since they were no longer financially stable, he grew to resent his wife, then his neighbor lured him into an evil scheme.
“My daughter Oume is in love with you. If only you weren't already married, you could be with her and be wealthy beyond belief.”
Ioman was a selfish human, so he liked the sound of that, if he were to marry Oume, all of the wealth of the Itō family could be his to inherit!
He started plotting ways to kill his wife.
He didn't wanna be charged with murder, so he had to figure out a way to make it look like natural causes. He decided that he was gonna poison her. He ‘prescribed an ointment’ for Oiwa to help her recover from her sickness. In reality, it was poison. So, the next night, they sat at the dinner table together, then he offered her a spoon.
“It's medicine to help you get stronger, for you and our baby.”
She was a little hesitant, but poor Oiwa was so trusting that she took the spoon and drank the poison.
At first, nothing happened, but then her hair began to fall out into clumps. Her eyes drooped and began to fill with blood.
She fell into a coma, which really angered Ioman because he wanted her to die already.
Days later, she awoke.
She had almost forgotten what had happened, but then she went to the bathroom and saw what she had become. She had lost her beauty and her baby.
Ioman still tried to keep up his concerned husband act. "Let's go on a walk to your favorite place," he said.
So, they walked to the edge of a cliff overlooking the entire town. It really was a beautiful view. And while Oiwa was trying to take it all in with her blood-filled eyes, he pushed her over the edge.
Ioman arranged an elaborate funeral for Oiwa to throw everybody off his scent, but now that she was out of the picture, he began to plan his wedding with his new bride.
“Now I'll be rich again and everything will be perfect,
he thought to himself.” Ioman thought he had seen the last of Oiwa.
He could not have been more wrong. Oiwa’s curse did not wait long to take effect.
He began seeing Oiwa's distorted face everywhere. When she appeared on something, his first instinct would destroy it. But he wouldn't let Oiwa ruin his new life with Oume.
On the day of his wedding, Oiwa had not appeared. The ceremony went perfectly. Ioman turned to his new wife, but it was not Oume who looked back at him, it was the horrible, disfigured face of Oiwa’s ghost! He grabbed his sword and lashed out at the ghost. Just then, the illusion ended, and Iemon saw that it was not Oiwa he had cut, but Oume.
He drew his sword and…
Everyone stared in horror as the head of Oume rolled down the aisle.
Ioman couldn't believe what he had done. He ran outside to the edge of the cliff and cried. The wedding attendants ran after him,

just in time to see a woman… push him over the edge.
