Satori, ( "consciousness") in Japanese folklore are supernatural monsters ("yokai") said to live within the mountains of Hida and Mino (presently Gifu Prefecture), and able to read people's minds. People are said to meet them while walking along mountain paths or resting in the mountains. Upon reading a person's mind, the satori would say the person's thoughts aloud faster than a human could. There is also a theory that they are the child incarnations of mountain gods who have come to ruin and turned into a yokai form. |
