curiousordinary, There are many tales in #JapaneseFolklore of frog brides. In these stories, magical frogs take on human form with the goal of marrying a human man. They look just like regular women, only they tend to be quite frail & often don't have the strength to do many normal tasks. If undiscovered, their marriages can be very long & happy, but if the husband witnesses his wife transforming into or from a frog, it will all end tragically.
