磯女，海姫様 · Ojika Island, Nagasaki · 1963
Umihime-sama asks the boatmen to carry souls ashore
What the record says
The iso-onna and Umihime-sama are the same thing: the drowned. On calm days she comes out in the form of a woman and asks the boatmen to carry the souls that are in the sea back to the land.

A 1929 record from Mizuho in Nagasaki describes a wrestler who tried to speak to a black-haired woman sitting on a shore stone at night — and other accounts from the same coastline describe something else entirely under the same name.
