Okiku, a reportedly haunted Japanese doll, is the subject of a legend detailing its purported growth of human hair. The story originates from a family in Hokkaido who, after the death of their young daughter Kikuko, attributed the doll's hair growth to her spirit. The doll, now residing in a temple, has reportedly had its hair trimmed by monks, though the phenomenon remains unexplained. Various accounts claim the hair is human and even that Okiku possesses growing teeth, inspiring further legends and artistic adaptations. The doll's history blends folklore with unexplained occurrences, continuing to fascinate and intrigue.
