Botan Dōrō

Botan Dōrō (牡丹燈籠, The Peony Lantern) is a Japanese ghost story (kaidan) and one of the most famous kaidan in Japan. The plot involves sex with the dead and the consequences of loving a ghost.

It is sometimes known as Kaidan Botan Dōrō (怪談牡丹灯籠, Tales of the Peony Lantern), based on the kabuki version of the story; this title is commonly used in translation, and refers to a Stone Lantern.
