Monster Mummies Edit
Japan's Mythical Preserved Remains Found in Buddhist Temples

These fairly freaky historical remains can be found lurking in dark corners of Buddhist temples and museums across Japan. Known as monster mummies, they are, in fact, the preserved remains of demons, mermaids, kappa, tengu and raijū. Or should I say things that people thought were demons, mermaids, kappa, tengu and raijū.

They are not pretty, but they are really fascinating.
