In Japan, people commonly have an image of a yurei as a woman without legs wearing a tenkan (triangle hood) over her disheveled hair and a white kimono (which samurai wore to commit harakiri in feudal Japan), and this is the most typical figure shown in theaters or haunted houses.
日本では、幽霊の描写として『乱れ髪に天冠（三角頭巾）、死装束の足がない女性』という、芝居やお化け屋敷などでの典型的な姿でイメージされることが多い。
