~Urban legends of Japan~

Tomino's hell

What if I say that there is a poem
which if you read aloud you will be cursed? It's Tomino's hell.

It is said that if you read this poem aloud you will be horribly cursed and if you read it in mind nothing happens. At best you will injure yourself at worst you will die.This poem is about a cute child named Tomino who splits jewels and there are many weird things in this poem like his elder sister vomits blood, his younger sister splits fire, hell and seven mountains.

I don't know that it is safe to read the English translation of this poem but still I am sharing it with you. I am also going to read the Japanese version.

Caution: Read this poem at your risk no one will be responsible if something happens.

English translation:

Elder sister vomits blood,
younger sister’s breathing fire
while sweet little Tomino
just spits up the jewels.2

All alone does Tomino
go falling into that hell,
a hell of utter darkness,
without even flowers.

Is Tomino’s big sister
the one who whips him?
The purpose of the scourging
hangs dark in his mind.3

Lashing and thrashing him, ah!
But never quite shattering.
One sure path to Avici,4
the eternal hell.

Into that blackest of hells
guide him now, I pray—
to the golden sheep,
to the nightingale.

How much did he put
in that leather pouch
to prepare for his trek to
the eternal hell?

Spring is coming
to the valley, to the wood,
to the spiraling chasms
of the blackest hell.

The nightingale in her cage,
the sheep aboard the wagon,
and tears well up in the eyes
of sweet little Tomino.5

Sing, o nightingale,
in the vast, misty forest—
he screams he only misses
his little sister.

His wailing desperation
echoes throughout hell—
a fox peony
opens its golden petals.

Down past the seven mountains
and seven rivers of hell—
the solitary journey
of sweet little Tomino.

If in this hell they be found,
may they then come to me, please,
those sharp spikes of punishment
from Needle Mountain.6

Not just on some empty whim
Is flesh pierced with blood-red pins:
they serve as hellish signposts
for sweet little Tomino.7

Personally I recommend that it is good to not read it at all. However there is high chances that it may only a coincidence because misfortunes is present in everyone's life and can happen anytime.
