CATDOLL: Why does Hello Kitty have no mouth? From a horror story

Hello Kitty is a famous Japanese cartoon star. Because Hello Kitty has no mouth, she is also known as the mouthless cat or the mouthless cat on the Internet. But why does she have no mouth?

Hello Kitty's original name was Kitamura Tamakami, the daughter of a Japanese general's concubine. She was ugly since she was young, and even uglier when she was older. As a result, her father never saw her, and Tamakami never had any feelings for her father. It was because ugliness was considered a contagious plague at that time, and the only thing that could accompany Tamakami was the doll with a smile on her face, which she always had. No matter what, Tamakami hugged it every night.

The sad Yu Shang finally hanged herself in her room at the age of fifteen, out of self-pity and world-weariness when she was about to enter her prime. Moreover, because Yu Shang had been a secluded person since childhood, no one would enter her room. Her body was not discovered by her mother until her hair grew from her waist to the floor and her clothes turned from white to dark red.

The mother burst into tears after seeing this. After the incident was resolved, she could not forget the scene. She blamed everything on her own preference for the second daughter.

In this way, the mother became increasingly weak due to grief, and finally died of depression at the age of 30. Before she died, she was still holding the baby, as if she thought she would follow her daughter...

Things gradually became quiet after the mother and daughter passed away. But every night when the crows were crowing, a faint sound could be heard...!

"Mom! I'm really lonely" ~ "Mom! Why don't you always accompany me?"

The place where the sound came from was exactly where the mother and daughter hanged themselves. The only thing that belonged to them in the house was the white-faced smiling doll!

In order to calm people's fears, the general ordered carvers to carve the doll's face into a cat's face (cats are mascots in Japan), but in order to prevent it from making any sound (the general's own fear caused by his guilt about his concubine's daughter), the general ordered that no mouth should be carved on the cat's face.

In this way, the doll was placed in the room for more than a hundred years...

After the policy of isolation, a series of wars occurred, and the Kitamura family was massacred, and of course everything was robbed. In this way, the doll, which was considered an antique by foreigners, was sold to various places. A few years later, the doll was sold to a toy store as a commodity and was taken home by another girl.

One day, after dinner, she carried her baby to the back garden to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and then she suddenly heard some laughter - some weird laughter. "Mom...Mom..." The girl began to feel something was wrong. She looked back and saw her baby crying for her mother...

Although the doll has been made public in the past 100 years, its story is still little known. Due to the doll's pleasing appearance, there are many fakes circulating everywhere. But ordinary people collect it just because of its pleasing appearance.

The doll with such a sad story has caused a global sensation today. It is the white-faced cat without a mouth that looks like a human - Hello Kitty.

Also, you may not know that Japanese dolls were made of human skin in ancient times...
