比叡山のふもとや大津の寺社に伝わる
夜な夜な寺に現れ、灯篭や仏壇の油をなめる妖怪
生前に寺の油を盗んで私利私欲に走った僧侶の話
A legend passed down in temples and shrines at the foot of Mount Hiei and in Otsu:
A yokai that appears in temples night after night and licks the oil from lanterns and Buddhist altars.
It tells the story of a monk who stole oil from a temple during his lifetime and acted out of selfish desires.
