Night Parade of One Hundred Demons 百鬼夜行

Hyakki Yagyo – The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in Second Life

 

Hyakki Yagyo — “The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons” — is a legendary procession from Japanese folklore, where countless yokai (supernatural creatures) march through the streets under the moonlight.

Depicted in picture scrolls as far back as the Heian period, this mysterious parade blends awe, fear, and beauty into a uniquely Japanese cultural expression.

 

This Second Life event brings Hyakki Yagyo to life in the virtual world, with avatars transforming into yokai, spirits, and phantoms of every shape and form.

Participants don elaborate kimonos, masks, and special effects, creating a breathtaking fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern digital artistry.

 

In this video, you’ll witness one enchanted night where fantasy and darkness intertwine — a one-of-a-kind performance that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Japan in a truly immersive way.
