Azuki Arai (The Japanese Bean Washer)

n deep water of waterfall in Japanese mountains, in the middle of the rush of water, you may hear a faint voice “shoki shoki”, like the sound of people washing azuki red bean. At a glance maybe it’s normal. But if you hear longer, that sound is like a creepy song. reputedly, this song believed as a voice from Azuki Arai, the azuki bean washer youkai.
