In August of 2010, the Japanese commercial broadcasting station NHK aired a television series of 4 episodes called “Ayashiki Bungô Kaidan”. Kaidan are traditional folk stories, most often dealing with ghosts, which can be compared to the Brothers Grimm tales from Europe.

“The Arm” is a deliciously strange story of a middle-aged man who is obsessed with a gorgeous young woman. Actually he’s obsessed with one part of her anatomy – her right arm. She acknowledges this man’s fetiss by kindly offering him her arm for a night.

03 – Hana aka The Nose (Sang-il Lee)
A monk has a huge and grossly disfigured nose (think of a big pickled gherkin and you’re close in both size and shape), and hides his face because of it. When children tease him he causes the death of a young boy in his anger. When the monk seems to bring the child back to life, the villagers start to revere him. But the boy won’t let him live in peace…
