Suddenly a big boom, perfect for discipline! If you do bad things, you'll go to hell—the true meaning is a message not to take life for granted. Based on the Enmei-ji Temple's secret Hell Scrolls from the former Awa District, Chiba, this long-selling picture book cultivates in children the fear of death and the importance of life. Gohei crosses the Sanzu River, appears before King Enma, and is sentenced to the Needle Hell. "I will let you live again this time. But if you don't change your ways, next time it will be hell. I will show you exactly what hell is like. Go back to the world and tell everyone..." Praised by manga artist Akiko Higashimura! "Thanks to this book, my child stopped misbehaving."
