Nice little horror-y folktale, only a few pages long. It reminds me of a few other Japanese folktales I've read involving mysterious magical women.
Being an Aozora book, some of the usual difficulty caveats apply (e.g. some older kanji usage). Being a folktale set in the countryside, it also has some rustic vocabulary that may be unfamiliar if, like me, you mostly read more contemporary works. However, the grammar is not very complicated, and the longer sentences are broken up with punctuation.
