toytheatre:The doll scenes here tell the story of the Kosodate Yūrei - child-rearing ghost. To tell it quickly, a woman visits a shop just before closing time for seven days, purchasing each time a single piece of candy, though on the seventh day she has no money and offers dead leaves instead. In this version, the shopkeeper pities her and accepts it, and follows her afterwards to the graveyard where he sees her climbing into a grave. Upon hearing a baby crying from within, he digs the grave up and rescues the child, buried by mistake when assumed a stillborn. The mother had bought the candies for her child with the six coins she was buried with to pay the river toll in the underworld. With the child now safe, the mother’s soul was finally put to rest.
