Luminous pale hand hovering along the misty banks of the Dōshi River, gently brushing nocturnal passersby.
A yokai from the folklore of Dōshi Village in Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture. At night, along the banks of the Dōshi River, a pale bluish-white hand is said to appear and gently stroke the cheeks of passing travelers. The true nature of the being behind the mysterious hand remains unknown.
