Etymology[]
Narigama is based on the youkai of the same name, meaning "ringing kama" (cast-iron kettle), a tsukumogami that appears as a hairy body coming out of the kama, with flames dancing around its edge. Like many portrayed in the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō, not much is known about it, but it's suggested that a Chinese creature called Lian Nu (斂女) described in the Bái Zé Tú was the basis for this youkai.
In the Yayoi period, it is said that the prince Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto defeated an oni called Ura, who was then housed in the Kibitsu shrine in Okayama as fortune-telling kami that used a kama to provide their portents. Another tale mentions that a kama kept in a shrine in Kyoto could predict the weather: if it made a squealing noise when the water inside it boiled, it was a sign there would be rain the next day. It's possible that both of these were similar creatures to the narigama.
