Daidarabotchi (ダイダラボッチ, 大座法師) was a gigantic type of yōkai in Japanese mythology, sometimes said to pose as a mountain range when sleeping. The size of a Daidarabotchi was so great that his footprints were said to have created innumerable lakes and ponds. In one legend, a Daidarabotchi weighed Mount Fuji and Mount Tsukuba to see which was heavier, but he accidentally split Tsukuba's peak after he was finished with it. | ||||||
