It is depicted in the art of Utagawa Kuniyoshi 1859 & Tsukioka Yoshitoshi 1865. The first movie to depict them was made in 1908 & it was a popular theme in early Japanese cinema. All those movies are lost but there is a surviving movie poster for the 1917 one. The only movie that you can see a Hihi is called ‘Mito Kômon manyûki; Hitokui Hihi‘ made in 1956, a samurai fights one. This blog has some details on it but please disregard everything I have written if this is already common knowledge, it's all new to me is all. https://wildinjapan.wordpress.com/2014/10/16/hihi-no-laughing-matter/<br />Cheers GavinGavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296101146802429394noreply@blogger.com
