This video features Toshiyuki Tanaka, a dedicated collector of occult and cursed objects (jutsu), living in a small apartment in Tokyo that houses an extensive collection of items linked to death and the supernatural (0:36-1:34).
Key Highlights of Tanaka's Collection:
Thai Occult Items: Tanaka considers Thailand a powerhouse of occultism. He showcases a Kuman Thong (a child spirit entity) and a potent charm made from the remains and 'prai' oil of five deceased women, used for attraction and love spells (2:30-4:50).
The Charmy Doll: His collection began with a French doll from a nursing home, rumored to be cursed, which caused technical malfunctions in his home, serving as the trigger for his transition into a full-time collector (5:06-7:20).
Oushino-koku & Ritual Objects: He owns a tsushi (a small wooden cabinet) and a giant straw doll used in dark rituals, specifically linked to the Kifune Shrine in Kyoto, known for its history of 'nailing to the shrine' curses at 2:00 AM (9:25-12:45).
The Death Mask: A plaster mask found in an abandoned dental clinic that reportedly 'spoke' and moved its eyes, believed to have been cast while the individual was still alive (17:42-19:47).
The Monkey Paw Ritual (Sarute): Tanaka explains the dark Japanese version of the monkey paw, involving the ritual killing of a pet monkey to fuel a curse that grants wealth before ultimately leading to a family's ruin (23:45-25:44).
Indonesian Skull Charms: He features human skulls from tribes that practiced headhunting, transformed through dark rituals to become protective entities for the tribe (20:50-22:03).
Key Takeaway:
Tanaka emphasizes that while these items are steeped in grim history and negative energy, the true source of horror often lies in the human intent behind creating these cursed objects rather than the items themselves (30:50-31:05).
