In Ama on the Oki Islands, a mounted man was pelted with stones; when he fought back and slashed at the attacker, the Seven-Fathom Wife fled and turned into a stone, later linked to “Nyōbō-ga Ishi” (Wife’s Stone). Another telling says that after the blow, the head of a stone Buddha fell off. Along the Shimane coast, a long-haired woman with blackened teeth was said to smile at passersby. In Yasugi, a beautiful woman dragged a robe seven fathoms long as she walked. In Hōki, stories describe a pale-faced woman singing about touching rice and red beans, and another tale tells of a seven-fathom-necked woman whose head stretched beneath an old tree.
