The Demon Fox Is Loose Again

The Sessho-seki, a famous rock in Nasu, Japan that was said to have imprisoned the evil nine-tailed fox demoness Tamamo-no-Mae, was found broken in half. After nearly 1,000 years, the demon vixen is presumably once again on the loose. 九尾の狐の伝説が残る、殺生石にひとりでやってきました。 縄でぐるっと巻かれた真ん中の大きな岩がそれ... のはずなのですが、なんと岩は真っ二つに割れて、縄も外れていました。 漫画だったらまさに封印が解かれて九尾の狐に取り憑かれるパターンで、見てはいけないものを見てしまった気がします。

A photograph shows Sessho-seki, a famous volcanic rock in Nasu, Japan, split in half with its surrounding rope broken. According to legend, the rock sealed away the nine-tailed fox demoness Tamamo-no-Mae, so the broken stone humorously suggests that the demon has escaped after nearly 1,000 years. It is used as an absurd supernatural reaction to news of something mysteriously breaking or going loose.
