Quatre de Deniers. Art by Matthew Meyer, from Tarot Yōkai.

コインの四 FURARIBI Furaribi is a small flying creature wrapped in flames that emerges from abandoned souls who have not managed to go further, often due to negligence in funeral and commemorative practices. The Four of Pentacles refers to a feeling of lack, almost abandonment, or the fear of lacking money or any other material security. Upright: economy, scarcity, control. The Four of Pentacles suggests looking at our relationship with money on the one hand, we make sure to save to ensure our financial security, on the other hand, we seem to give too much value to money (and other material goods). This card asks to respect money and financial well-being, without however becoming a slave to it or developing too strong an attachment to it to the detriment of the other gifts of life: emotions, family, love. Reversed: greed, protection, excessive spending. Reversed, the Four of Pentacles indicates that we are reevaluating our priorities; we have paid too much attention to our material life and it is time to rediscover other values ​​in life that contribute to our well-being. Furthermore, this Four reversed can warn against excessive spending and overly expensive habits. Alternatively, it invites us to pay attention to greed: we anxiously seek security, stability and the protection of our assets in an attempt to ensure a financially secure future.

Hitodama 人魂  y Furaribi ふらり火 : Fuegos fatuos

Los furaribi y Hitodama son la persoonificación de los fuegos fatuos, que son llamas que emanan de la combustión de matera orgánica en descomposición y se mueven a poca distancia del suelo sin rumbo fijo. Se suelen ver de noche, en lugares donde se acumula materia putrefacta, como pantanos y cementerios, causando así el origen de estos yokai. 

El furaribi tiene la apariencia de un pájaro con cada de perro envuelto en llamas. El hitodama, literalmente “espíritu humano” es el alma de un muerto que flota en el aire a merced del viento. 

Fuegos de sayuri

Hasta principios de la era Meiji (1868 - 1912) a orillas del río Jinzu, en Toyama, se veían todas las noches unas extrañas llamas que la gente denominaba fuego errante o fuego de Sayuri. Si a plena noche alguien llamaba “¡Sayuri, Sayuri!”, por este lugar, surgía de la obscuridad la cabeza recién cortada de una mujer con el pelo revuelto y la mirada rencorosa. Esta Sayuri era la dama de un poderoso señor feudal del siglo XVI. Al ser su favorita, era envidiada por el resto de las mujeres del palacio, quienes un día lograron hacer creer al señor que Sayuri tenía ciertos tratos ilícitos con uno de sus pajes. La ira le pudo y de inmediato ordenó que colgaran su cuerpo de los árboles y la descuartizaran a la vista de todos. También quince de sus familiares fueron allí ajusticiados. Desde aquel día todas las noches podían observar estos furaribi o hitodama que la gente llamaba “fuegos de Sayuri”.

Imágenes: Furaribi y Hitodama 

[lpbestiary]

In Japanese folklore, the furaribi is a yōkai depicted as a fire-wreathed bird-like animal with a dog's face. Appearing in books and art from the Edo period, including the famous Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, little is actually known about the furaribi's nature.

The most common theory regarding the furaribi is that it is the spirit of one not given a proper memorial after their death, dooming them to wander the Earth and eventually transform into its usual fiery countenance.

Furaribi

Looks like a fiery little bird with a strange dog-like face. It’s a hi-no-tama, or a fireball yokai. It’s a fragment of a soul that hasn’t passed on. It wanders aimlessly for all eternity. Such is the fate of the deceased that never received proper funeral rites.
