Background
The Dodomeki (百々目鬼) is a female yokai in Japanese folklore known for her arms covered in countless small eyes, a result of her past life as a thief who stole money from temples and shrines. According to legend, her transformation into a yokai was punishment for her crimes, with the eyes representing the coins she stole.
What makes the story of the Dodomeki interesting is how she embodies the Nichiren Buddhist (日蓮仏教) concept of karmic transformation. Unlike many destructive yokai, her story serves as a moral tale about greed and consequences.
In some versions of the myth, the Dodomeki can extend her arms to impossible lengths to steal from unsuspecting victims, while the eyes on her arms can hypnotize those who gaze upon them. This supernatural ability is a curse and a tool, forcing her to continue her thieving ways even after her transformation.
