Because flyhead is relatively easy to catch, there are some people among jujutsushi who keep them as pet curse. Isn't there any protest from dark animal protection organization?

.

"The head of Fly" (hae no atama) is written as "Flyhead" (youtou). If you look up in the dictionary, it means "Fly. Head of a fly. Very small thing, especially in term of fine characters. Also very small profit". So fine small characters is called "Youtou saisho". However that etymology came from Tei Bunjaku, a jujutsushi and a chef who moved from China to Taiwan in 16 century, as he didn't know much about the evil spirit that he discovered. The curse size is about a small bowl and the shape of its head reminds one of a fly. Its curse energy is low enough to let it slip through walls and other obstacles. It is very weak, there's a record that when Bunjaku swung it with curse energy in his fist, the curse disappeared instantly. By the way, there's a popular Taiwanese dish called "Shan'intou" (lit. Blue fly head), is the name may be taken from "Flyhead"? There's a report that said the original inventor of the dish was related to Tei Bunjaku, however the whereabouts of that record is unknown today.

This project used various helmets that could alter the perceptions of those wearing them, for example the ‘Fly Head’ disoriented the sight and hearing of the wearer to create an entirely new apprehension of reality. artblart.com
