Kwaidan (1964) is a cinematic journey through four unique and chilling tales. "Yuki-onna" follows a woodcutter who, during a blizzard, encounters a spectral woman who saves his life but demands silence about their encounter. Years later, he inadvertently breaks his promise. "Kurokami" tells the story of a samurai who, after a disastrous marriage, returns to his first wife, only to find something unsettling about her. "Hoichi the Earless" centers on a blind musician who is summoned by ghostly nobles to perform a haunting ballad, leading the monks to intervene with a protective mantra. Lastly, "Te no Naka no Onna" is a tale within a tale, where a writer recounts a man's eerie encounters with a mysterious face appearing in his cup of tea.
