Kisah dan tradisi
Dōnotsura adalah yōkai Jepang yang digambarkan dalam gulungan bergambar. Tubuhnya tidak berkepala di atas leher, dan wajahnya berada di batang tubuh. Gulungan lama hanya memuat nama dan gambar tanpa teks penjelasan. Sumber lain menyebut tubuhnya mirip manusia kecuali bagian dari leher ke atas, dengan fitur wajah yang sangat besar di batang tubuh. Dalam gulungan lain, makhluk dengan rancangan serupa tercatat dengan nama Akahadaka. Satu sumber mencatat bahwa makhluk berwajah di dada atau perut tersebar luas di Eurasia, dan menilai Xingtian dari gambar Shanhaijing tampaknya menjadi contoh bagi rupa ini. Sumber lain mengemukakan bahwa asal-usulnya kemungkinan besar adalah permainan kata.
Dōnotsura is a Japanese yōkai depicted in illustrated scrolls. Its body lacks a head above the neck, and its face is on its torso. The old scrolls give only a name and a picture, without explanatory text. Another source describes its body as much like a human's except for everything above the neck, with extremely large facial features on the torso. In another scroll, a yōkai of similar design is recorded under the name Akahadaka. One source notes that beings with faces on the chest or belly are widely distributed across Eurasia, and considers that Xingtian from Shanhaijing illustrations appears to have served as the model for this form. Another source suggests that its most likely origin is a play on words.
