History

the Jorōgumo originates from the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. It is a legendary creature known for its allure and deadly nature. The term "Jorōgumo" is derived from two words: "Jōrō" meaning "prostitute" and "gumo" meaning "spider." The legend suggests that the Jorōgumo was once an ordinary spider that grew to immense size and developed supernatural abilities as it aged.The Jorōgumo is depicted as a shape-shifter, capable of transforming into a seductive woman to lure unsuspecting victims. Some variations of the tale mention that it can create an illusionary web to assume the form of a beautiful woman, while others describe it as a half-spider, half-woman hybrid. read more
