In Wakayama, later descriptions mention a “Tall Wife” frightening the second floor of brothels, and in the Tohoku region some ghost stories about a woman peering into upstairs windows were titled “Takafemale/Tall Woman.” These are regarded as later reinterpretations and retellings, with little firm local tradition. Readings that link her to satire of Yoshiwara remain interpretive. Common to these accounts is a woman who lengthens her stature at night to look into second-floor windows and startle people.
