The Wicked and the Damned: A Hundred Tales of Karma Vol.1

Set in ancient Japan, Natsuhiko Kyogoku's chilling series interweaves tales of karma and retribution with supernatural tricksters and spirits.

 In The Bean Washer, a Buddhist priest traveling deep in the mountains gets caught in a storm late at night and encounters the Mendicant, a mysterious figure who guides him to a ramshackle hut. There, a group of stranded fellow travelers decide to swap ghost stories to pass the night. But the gathering takes on a sinister twist when secrets of unpunished past deeds are brought to light.
