Kuchisake-onna, or the Slit-mouthed Woman, is an urban legend belonging to the Japanese. She's one of my favorite Japanese myths as just the idea of a spirit walking around unknown is super creepy and I love it. Though she is not described in most lore, I chose to depict the Kuchisake-onna in an old kimono along with a blood-stained bow and long, flowing hair like the girl from The Ring and a surgical mask falling off her face to reveal the slit mouth beneath. And, of course, her scissors ready at her side.
Anyway, this is a contest entry, so I would appreciate your support by leaving comments, diamonds, and favorites ^-^ Thank you all! ;)

Kuchisake-onna Lore
Children walking alone at night may encounter a woman wearing a surgical mask. This is not an unusual sight in Japan, as people wear them to protect others from their colds or sicknesses.
The woman will stop the child and ask, "Am I beautiful?" If they say "no," she kills them with a pair of scissors she always carries. If they say "yes," the woman removes her mask to reveal her mouth has been slit from ear to ear. The Kuchisake-onna will then ask, "How about now?" Regardless of whether the child answers yes or no at this point, the woman will kill them: If they say no, they are cut in half; if they say yes, she cuts their mouths to be exactly like hers.
To escape the Kuchisake-onna, you can answer her second question with "You're average," or "So-so," which will confuse her so that you can escape. Alternatively, you can throw fruit or sweets at her feet, which she will pick up, thus giving the victim a chance to run. One other option is to ask her if you are pretty: She will also get confused and leave. And a fourth possibility is to say you have to meet up with your husband/your wife and she will excuse herself and leave.
